Ultra-Fast MilliDelta Robot

Ultra-Fast MilliDelta Robot
Jan-20-18
Harvard’s penny-sized milliDelta robot could find its way into manufacturing and microsurgeries.

The tiny robot relies on the team’s previously developed pop-up microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) manufacturing. Measuring only 15 x 15 x 20 mm, the milliDelta is made from a composite laminate structure with flexural joints and bending actuators, allowing it to function at high speeds and with micrometer precision.

According to the team, the milliDelta can operate in a space only seven cubic millimeters, applying forces suitable for detailed manufacturing work and even retinal microsurgeries on the human eye.
