Wheels for a MEMS MicroVehicle
نویسنده
چکیده
Inch-worm motors achieve high linear displacements with high forces while dissipating low power. Design of a wheel to achieve angular displacement from inch-worm motors is described. Test structures are then suggested to measure unknown parameters and determine how best to build wheels for a microvehicle. Conclusions and future work are then discussed.
