Bacteria Propelled Micro-Robots: A microscale (under 50 um in length) swimming robot utilizing flagellated bacteria.

Magnetic Micro-Robots: Harnessing magnetic fields to control mobile micro-scale robots.

Reconfigurable Magnetic Micro-Modules: Scaling down the size of modules in reconfigurable robotic systems using micro-robotics technologies.

Soft Magnetic Capsule Robots: MASCE (Magnetically Actuated Soft Capsule Endoscope) is a new class of capsule robot for minimally invasive interventions and diagnosis.

Flapping Aerial Vehicles: Aerial platforms based on a flapping wing design.

Tri-Leg Waalbot: A Wheel/Leg robot for wall climbing.

Modular Climbing Robot: Tank-like module-based climbing robot using directional and passive compliant joints.

Contact Self-Cleaning of Adhesive Microfibers

Directional Adhesives

Hierarchical Adhesives

Micro- and sub-micron size structures: Synthetic Gecko Hair Fabrication by DRIE + Molding methods.

Macro/Micro-Manipulation:Taking inspiration from the structures and control of the gecko’s foot, we create arrays of angled elastomeric microposts. Then, we isolate a single micropost and through pressing and dragging we use it to pick-and-place microscale parts.

Water Running Robot: A robot that can run on the surface of water.

Water Strider Robot: A miniature water strider robot

Jumping-Gliding Robot: Performance and adaptability in unstructured environments is a significant challenge for robotic systems however; there are systems capable of operation in unstructured environments namely biological systems. Even though technology does not allow for replication, with the correct level of abstraction these systems can inspired design strategies which can improve the performance of robotic systems.
