    This document discusses microrobotics, which involves miniature robots that are less than 1mm in size. Microrobots are designed to precisely perform repetitive tasks and can be autonomous like insects. They have various designs inspired by biology that include features like antennae, sensors, actuators and power sources. Microrobots can operate on the ground, in air, underwater, in space and for medical and military applications. Some key challenges are fabrication, materials and sensors. The document outlines applications in medicine like retina surgery and drug delivery, as well as technical uses. It also discusses advantages like productivity but disadvantages like costs. The future may include simpler exploration, emergency response robots, more intelligence, alternative power sources and an economic boom

    MICROROBOTICS

    Presentation by s.sai krishna


    WHAT IS MICROROBOTICS?
    • Microrobotics or Micro-robotics is a field of
    miniature robotics with characteristic
    dimensions less than 1mm.
    • Designed to perform a task or a set of tasks in
    repetition with precision.
    • Autonomous & insect-like. Fig : Origami Robot
    • Available in various sizes.
    • Birth: The beginning of Robotics started in the
    early 1960s and 1970s which led to a wide
    range of concepts and actualization in the field.
    DESIGN
    There are several parts in the design of microrobots which are explained
    below:
    Antennae Halters
    Optical Flow Sensor Electronic Nervous System
    Ocelli UV Targeting Sensors
    Thorax Power Actuators
    Airfoils Power Source
    Control Actuators Pollination and Docking
    Power and Control Electronics appendages
