Porous silicon has emerged as a promising on-chip energetic material capable of generating energy that can be harnessed for high force, high displacement actuation on microrobotic platforms. This work provides initial characterization of this microfabricated energetic material with respect to force and specific impulse. Output force from samples with varying pore morphologies is measured with a high...
As the capability and complexity of robotic platforms continue to evolve from the macro to the micron scale, the challenge of achieving autonomy requires the development of robust, lightweight architectures. These architectures must provide a platform upon which actuators, control, sensing, power, and communication modules are integrated for optimal performance. In this paper, the first autonomous...
