Applications of piezo-actuated micro-robots in micro-biology and material science

Jean-Marc Breguet, Walter Driesen, Tomas Cimprich

This paper presents a few examples of manipulators and micro-robots based on piezo-actuators developed during the last 4 years in the Laboratoire de Systèmes Robotiques (LSRO) at EPFL. Three working principles will be described (bender, inch-worm, inertial ...

Concept, modeling and experimental characterization of the modulated friction inertial drive (MFID) locomotion principle : application to mobile microrobots

A mobile microrobot is defined as a robot with a size ranging from 1 in3 down to 100 µm3 and a motion range of at least several times the robot's length. Mobile microrobots have a great potential for a wide range of mid-term and long-term applications such ...

Friction based locomotion module for mobile MEMS robots

Reymond Clavel, Jean-Marc Breguet, Amar Rida, Walter Driesen

The “Modulated Friction Inertial Drive (MFID) principle” is presented as a locomotion solution for mmsize micro robots dealing with both size constraints and limitations in terms of power consumption. Based on one of the configurations of this locomotion p ...
