Scurrying micro-bot steers by electrostatic grip – Electronics Weekly
Inspired by the way certain insects grip surfaces, Engineers at the University of California, Berkeley have added electrostatic…
In 2019, the team demonstrated an externally-powered layered piezoelectric flexing cockroach-sized mini-machine that could scurry forwards at 20 body lengths per second (~1.5mph). Part of its secret is that it is driven at its resonant frequency.
To this…
