SHort Range Independent Microrobotics Program (SHRIMP)
Abstract
The SHort Range Independent Microrobotic Platforms (SHRIMP) program developed efficient and capable actuation mechanisms and power efficient voltage conversion circuits for microrobotic platforms. The primary technical focus areas were the efficiency, robustness, and force output of millimeter-scale actuators, and the power and energy capacity of batteries and chip-level power converters. The program advanced the microrobotics field, allowing future robots to be realized in much smaller form factors than are previously possible. A companion applied research effort was funded in PE 0602716E, Project ELT-01.
