Obiettivo The subject of the proposed research is innovative design of a flexible microrobot, acting as an elephant trunk if one of its modules is fixed, or moving like a snake inside a pipe. Work will include development of and experimentation with: a trunk shaped microstructure, comprising several identical modules a specific microactuator for every module of the trunk a specific microgripper with integrated actuator control architecture and algorithms, for moving in narrow spaces or avoiding obstacles. The microstructure will consist of 20 modules, each measuring between 5 and 15 mm in each dimension.
