Miniaturization of Implantable Micro-Robot Propulsion Using a Wireless Power Transfer System
This paper presents an efficient coil design for a mm-sized micro-robot which generates a propulsion force and torque and receives electrical energy using a wireless power transfer system. To determine the most efficient coil structures and produce propulsion and torque on the micro-robot, both helical and spiral coil modeling was conducted, and analytical formulations of the propulsion force a...
متن کاملNozzle Fabrication for Micro Propulsion of a Micro Satellite
⎯ To enable formation flying of micro satellites, small sized propulsion systems are required. Our research focuses on the miniaturization of a feeding and thruster system by means of micro system technology (MST). Three fabrication methods have been investigated to make a conical converging-diverging nozzle. These methods are reactive ion etching, femtosecond laser machining (FLM) and a combin...
متن کاملA novel design of MEMS based solid propellant
As the development of small satellites, more commonly referred to as ‘microsats’ with masses in the range of 10-100 kg and ‘nanosats’ featuring masses from 1-10 kg, there emerge several new kinds of space missions, such as the formation flying and constellations of micro satellites, distributed onboard carrier wave radar, high resolution synthetic aperture remote sensing etc. Due to the continu...
متن کاملA New Propulsion System for Microswimmer Robot and Optimizing Geometrical Parameters Using PSO Algorithm
Mini and micro robots, which can swim in an underwater environment, have drawn widespread research interests because of their potential applications to the clinical drug delivery, biotechnology, manufacturing, mobile sensor networks, etc. In this paper, a prototype of microrobot based on the motion principle of living microorganisms such as E. Coli Bacteria is presented. The properties of this ...
متن کاملPerformance testing of a microfabricated propulsion system for nanosatellite applications
There is a growing interest in the use of micro and nanosatellites within the aerospace community. Constellations of small satellites may eventually replace much larger, single function spacecraft as a cheaper, more flexible alternative. Micro-technologies will be required to enable small satellite missions including efficient, low-cost propulsion systems for maneuvering. A MEMS fabricated prop...
