Micro-Robotics
Micro-robotics is a field of robotics focused on creating tiny robots, often measuring just a few millimeters or even smaller. These miniature machines can perform specific tasks, such as assembling components, delivering drugs within the body, or conducting environmental monitoring. Their small size allows them to navigate tight spaces and interact with objects at a microscopic level.
Researchers in micro-robotics often draw inspiration from nature, mimicking the movements of insects or microorganisms. Technologies like MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) and 3D printing are commonly used to design and manufacture these robots, enabling advancements in various applications, including medicine and manufacturing.
