REU Research: Microrobotics Nathan Jee
Introduction • National Institute of Standards and Technology’s Mobile Microrobotics Challenge • Mobility Challenge • Microassembly Challenge • Enhance the control of the current microrobot
Micromagnet 500 um on a side
The Microrobot Microscopic Camera Arena
Conclusion • Use of electromagnetism through metal coils for quicker mobility • Redesigning the shape of the micromagnet • Placement of the magnets underneath the arena
