| Research Abstract |
In this study, functional microstructured surfaces, such as hydrophobic surfaces, adhesive surfaces and air flow sensors, were developed using MEMS techniques, inspired by structures and functions of insects. These functional devices were then integrated on the materials for robots, and a variety of mobile robots were assembled, such as wall-climbing robots, water-walking robots, flapping-wing robots, and robots acting on reflex. These robots would have potential applications for gathering information in narrow spaces or stricken area.
