Abstract
A new type of micro walking robot named PLIF (piezo light intelligent flea) is introduced. These robots, that walk by using piezoceramic legs, are very small in size, but, at the same time, fast and agile. Three different types of PLIF have been designed and built and several dynamic measures have been performed. Moreover a self-learning technique has been implemented and tested in order to increase the autonomy of these systems
