High speed locomotion for a quadrupedal microrobot
Abstract
Research over the past several decades has elucidated some of the mechanisms behind high speed, highly efficient, and robust locomotion in insects such as cockroaches. Roboticists have used this information to create biologically inspired machines capable of running, jumping, and climbing robustly over a variety of terrains. To date, little work has been done to develop an at-scale insect-inspired robot capable of similar feats due to challenges in fabrication, actuation, and electronics integration for a centimeter-scale device. This paper addresses these challenges through the design, fabrication, and control of a 1.27 g walking robot, the Harvard Ambulatory MicroRobot (HAMR). The current design is manufactured using a method inspired by pop-up books that enables fast and repeatable assembly of the miniature walking robot. Methods to drive HAMR at low and high speeds are presented, resulting in speeds up to 0.44 m/s (10.1 body lengths per second) and the ability to maneuver and control the robot along desired trajectories.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
