Abstract:  No robots at the sub-cm3 scale exist because their development faces a number of open challenges. This project focuses on identifying and determining means for solving these challenges. In addition, it is providing new solutions to outstanding questions about resource-constrained algorithms, architectures, and actuators that can be widely leveraged in other applications.

Abstract: No robots at the sub-­‐cm3 scale exist because their development faces a number of open challenges. This project focuses on identifying and determining means for solving these challenges.

Abstract The goal of this multidisciplinary project is to develop the first cooperative network of small robots. It involves the concurrent investigation of control and estimation algorithms, actuators, sensors and platforms that support mobility and collaboration subject to severe power, size and weight constraints.

This project will develop the first wireless network of cooperative mobile autonomous robots at a very small scale. In order to achieve this goal, we will face technical and scientific challenges that arise from severe power constraints, space and weight limitations.
