Design and realization of a wireless drive microrobot

With the increasing of micro parts, much attention has been paid to development of micro devices, which can handle those micro parts. We present a novel wireless microrobot based on the deformation of piezoelectric. The microrobot can fulfill both long distance transport and precise positioning. With three drive units arranged at apexes of an equilateral triangle, omnidirectional motion can be achieved. The author mainly discusses its driving principle and wireless control strategies. Some experimental results are also given to examine the effects of related parameters on its kinematics characteristics.
