This paper presents a simple relative positioning algorithm for multiple micro robots. The micro robot is designed as a differential driven vehicle and actuated by MEMS-based electromagnetic micromotors. A simple relative positioning approach based only on one infrared emitter, receiver and compass is presented. Using this method, we characterized the accuracy of positioning between robots and identified sources of imprecision. Finally, this module is clearly demonstrated with the autonomous docking of multiple micro robots. The ability of our algorithm makes it cost effective and easy to deploy its application to multiple micro robots.

“…On the level of mobile microrobots, piezoceramic cantilevers are used as legs which move a robot on a suitable working plate to increase the working range [19][20][21]. These microrobots are intended to be used in microassembly tasks in which an increased workspace plays an important role.…”

“…Besides the normal motors driven principle, other microactuation techniques based on smart materials have been devised, such as piezoelectric actuators, shape memory alloys, etc. The MINIMAN robot and the MiCRoN microrobot have employed these techniques (Schmoeckel & Fatikow, 2000;Brufau et al, 2005). The first walking batch fabricated silicon microrobot, with the 15x5 mm 2 size, able to carry loads has been developed and investigated.…”
