Integrated Microsensors for Autonomous Microrobots

Heller, Edwin J.; Adkins, Douglas R.; Byrne, Raymond H.; Heller, Edwin J.; Wolf, Jimmie V.

This report describes the development of a miniature mobile microrobot device and several microsystems needed to create a miniature microsensor delivery platform. This work was funded under LDRD No.10785, entitled, ''Integrated Microsensors for Autonomous Microrobots''. The approach adopted in this project was to develop a mobile platform, to which would be attached wireless RF remote control and data acquisition in addition to various microsensors. A modular approach was used to produce a versatile microrobot platform and reduce power consumption and physical size.
