題目:Miniature Mobile Robots Down to Micron Scale
講師:Prof. Metin Sitti(Carnegie Mellon University | CMU)
概要:
Miniature mobile robots have the unique capability of accessing
to small spaces and scales directly. Due to their small size and
small-scale physics and dynamics, they could be agile and
portable, and could be inexpensive and in large numbers if they
are mass-produced. Miniature robots would have potential
applications in health-care, mobile sensor networks, desktop
micro-manufacturing, environmental monitoring, and inspection. In
this talk, design, manufacturing, and control of different size
scale miniature robots with various locomotion capabilities are
presented. First, as centimeter scale robots, new climbing robots
using gecko foot-hairs inspired micro-fiber adhesives as their
repeatable and power efficient attachment materials are proposed.
These new fibrillar adhesives are as strong as biological
foot-hairs on smooth surfaces. Various climbing robot prototypes
and a soft capsule medical robot using these adhesives show the
feasibility of fibrillar microstructure based adhesion and
friction enhancement. Next, going down to tens or hundreds of
micron scale mobile robots, significant challenges are on-board
actuation principles and power sources. Two alternative
approaches are proposed to solve this grand challenge. First,
attached bacteria are used as actuators to propel micron scale
swimming robot bodies. Stochastic motion of these S. marcescens
bacteria propelled micro-objects can be steered using chemical
gradients. Next, external powering and actuation methods are
proposed to move magnetic micro-robots using a stick-slip,
spinning or rolling based surface locomotion in air or liquid in
2-D. Vision-based control schemes can individually control
single- or teams of micro-robots and these micro-robots can
manipulate and assemble micro-parts with or without contact in
liquid. Controlled assembly and disassembly of such teams of
magnetic micro-robots are also investigated and demonstrated
towards reconfigurable micro-robotic systems in 2-D.
