Microrobotics
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 15:02:49
Abstract
This course provides an overview of microfabrication processes used to produce micro-scale robots and will cover topics related to microactuators, microsensors, and modeling at these scales. The course will also investigate micromanipulation technologies, incl. the assembly of micron-sized parts, the manipulation of biological cells, and the types of robots used to perform these types of tasks.
Content
Microrobotics is the study of robotics at the micron scale, and includes robots that are microscale in size and large robots capable of manipulating objects that have dimensions in the microscale range. This course provides an overview of microfabrication processes used to produce micro-scale robots and will cover topics related to microactuators, microsensors, and modeling at these scales. The course will also investigate micromanipulation technologies, including the assembly of micron-sized parts, the manipulation of biological cells, and the types of robots used to perform these types of tasks.
