Abstract:There is an increasing need for wireless autonomous micro electromechanical systems (MEMS) and microrobots that can perform various functions such as sensing, diagnosis, locomotion, actuation, implantation, material removal, manipulation, and localized drug delivery. A major problem with these systems is the production, storage, and transduction of power at the micro scale. In addition, these miniature devices cannot use existing battery packs that are commonly used to power electronic devices. These MEMS and … Show more
