Design of the First Insect-scale Spinning-wing Robot
Palak Bhushan, Claire Tomlin
Here we present the design of an insect-scale microrobot that generates lift by spinning its wings. This is in contrast to most other microrobot designs at this size scale which re…
New Wing Stroke and Wing Pitch Approaches for Milligram-scale Aerial Devices
Palak Bhushan, Claire Tomlin
Here we report the construction of the simplest transmission mechanism ever designed capable of converting linear motions of any actuator to 60 rotary wing stroke moti…
Design of the first sub-milligram flapping wing aerial vehicle
Palak Bhushan, Claire Tomlin
Here we report the first sub-milligram flapping wing vehicle which is able to mimic insect wing kinematics. Wing stroke amplitude of 90 and wing pitch amplitude of 80$^\cir…
An Insect-scale Self-sufficient Rolling Microrobot
Palak Bhushan, Claire Tomlin
We design an insect-sized rolling microrobot driven by continuously rotating wheels. It measures 18mm8mm8mm. There are 2 versions of the robot - a 96mg laser-powere…
An Insect-scale Untethered Laser-powered Jumping Microrobot
Palak Bhushan, Claire Tomlin
We present the design of an insect-sized jumping microrobot measuring 17mm6mm14mm and weighing 75 milligrams. The microrobot consumes 6.4mW of power to jump up by 8…
