Computer science professor J. Gregory Morrisett also lauded the laboratory, writing in an email to The Crimson that “Rob Wood (and his team) are geniuses.”
The process may be applicable to the design of micro-surgical devices, micro-sensors, micro-optics, and other integrated electromechanical devices.
The researchers are working to extend their process to integrate printed circuit boards into the mechanical structure of the robots.
Their new method will be featured in the March issue of the Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering.
