This article introduces and explores the current frontier four-legged (quadruped) and six-legged (hexapod) crawling micro-robots. The performances of various crawling micro-robots are compared, and their driving modes are analyzed. Moreover, the ...

In this paper the methodology of the design of electrostatic micromotors is discussed. Field computation is performed by the finite element method (FEM). Automated modelling and evaluation of the quantities of the electrostatic field in combination with ...
