IRIM Seed Grant 2019 on High-Precision MRI-guided Robot
Our team just got one more year on this project.
Tiny Vibration-Powered Robots Are the Size of the World’s Smallest Ant
Researchers have created a new type of tiny 3D-printed robot that moves by harnessing vibration from piezoelectric actuators, ultrasound sources or even tiny speakers. A paper describing the micro-bristle-bots has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering. The research was supported by a seed grant from…
