SHort Range Independent Microrobotic Platforms (SHRIMP)
Abstract
The SHort Range Independent Microrobotic Platforms (SHRIMP) program developed multi-functional millimeter-to-centimeter scale robotic platforms with a focus on untethered mobility, maneuverability, and dexterity. To achieve this goal, SHRIMP conducted foundational research in the area of micro-actuator materials and energy efficient power systems for extremely size, weight, and power constrained microrobotic systems. The program's platform development activities leveraged recent advances in low power, application specific integrated circuit electronics and low power sensors from the internet of things community to increase the functionality of microrobotic platforms while increasing platform mobility, maneuverability, and dexterity. The future microrobotic platform capabilities enabled by SHRIMP will provide the DoD with capability to operate in small spaces that are practically inaccessible to today's state-of-the-art robotic platforms. Foundational research efforts are funded in PE 0601101E, Project ES-01.
