| Research Abstract |
Achievements of my research can divide into mechanical engineering and electronic engineering. Usually, micro fabrication of silicon wafer was used to construct the planar structure devices in mechanical engineering. In this research, mechanical components fabricated by micro fabrication technology were assembled using manual assembly to construct the microrobot which is space structure. As a result, less than 5 mm size hexapod microrobot performed locomotion. The size of the hexapod microrobot was smallest in the world.
Programmed control has been the dominant system among the motion control of microrobot. In this research, artificial intelligence circuit by analog integrated circuit was constructed. As a result, motion control without program was realized by artificial intelligence circuit which mimics the brain of living organisms.
