MEMS EARTHWORM: THE DESIGN AND TESTING OF A BIO-INSPIRED HIGH PRECISION, HIGH SPEED, LONG RANGE PERISTALTIC MICRO-MOTOR
This work examined the design, fabrication, and testing of a bio-mimetic MEMS earthworm crawler with external actuators. The micro-earthworm consisted of a passive mobile shuttle with two flexible diamond shaped segments; each segment was independently squeezed by a pair of stationary chevron-shape...
