TOKYO & NEW YORK & DÜSSELDORF, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Robotics manufacturers developing the next generation of devices need precise torque control, compact system design, and parts that generate low heat.
The ETRI research team earned the major prize in the German International Design Competition, which is one of the world’s top three design awards. This demonstrates global acknowledgment of the research team’s technology.
In recent research published in the journal ACS Nano, researchers reported how swarms of microscale robots, or microrobots, collected microorganisms and plastic fragments from water.
Researchers developed SMR-O, a miniature quadrupedal piezoelectric robot, leveraging a novel spatial parallel mechanism and innovative piezoelectric actuator manufacturing. With peak speeds of 48.66 cm/s and a payload capacity of 5.5 g, SMR-O demonstrates rapid and agile locomotion, promising applications in search and rescue, exploration, medical diagnostics, and fault detection.
Scientists at the University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering and Department of Chemistry have created microscopic, rotating micro-robots that attach to immune cells and investigate their functionality.
Washington State University produced two insect-like robots that are the tiniest, lightest, and fastest fully functional micro-robots ever made: the mini-bug and the water strider.
Wireless millirobots have achieved a groundbreaking feat by navigating through a narrow blood vessel in both directions, against and along the arterial flow.
Scientists at the Surgical Robotics Laboratory of the University of Twente have achieved a breakthrough in collaborative magnetic microrobotics: the successful collaboration of two minuscule magnetic microrobots to manipulate and assemble passive objects in a three-dimensional space.
In collaboration with the KOTITI Testing & Research Institute, a research team led by Dr Ho Sang Jung at the Department of Nano-Bio Convergence at the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS), a government-funded research facility under the Ministry of Science and ICT, has created the first technology that can quickly detect microplastics (MPs) with high sensitivity.
A new approach to actuator design has enabled scientists to create a tiny, insect-like robot that can crawl, jump and carry a payload over 22 times its body weight.
