Laser equipment through tiny spider robot software 'as two pulse'

Laser equipment power miniature robot software in the development of medical industry. If spider can help surgeons and minimally invasive surgery in clinic or to narrow and dangerous mission? Harvard University and a research team at Boston university will soft tiny spider robots become a reality. The inspiration from the Australian small peacock spider.



so far, the most advanced level small robots often in centimeters, usually only with a degree of freedom, only a movement. And the software spider robot with micron level characteristics of the millimeter level, because it is made from soft silicone rubber, so it has 18 degrees of freedom, it can change its own structure, movement, and even color.



software spider robot not rigid, fully acquired from microfluidic system dynamic realization of various ability, within its subject is the laser equipment processing of a complex network of micro channel system, when pumping the liquid to the system, the spider's eyes will become bright, like a peacock spider present abundant abdomen pattern, at the same time will move its arms and legs.



and how the software spider robot made of? The team says, use the MORPH ( Microfluidic Origami for Reconfigurable Pneumatic / Hydraulic) Pneumatic/hydraulic reconstruction of microfluidic fold system, MORPH system combines three different manufacturing techniques.
in the first place, with the aid of soft printing technology using elastic silicone material to create the appearance of robot;
and then, through the laser equipment of laser fine processing technology on the 12 layer elastic silicone material drawing a complex micro channel network;
in the end, with the aid of injection induced from folding technology to seal. Join in microfluidic channels can be pressurized solidification resin, and uv light, make resin hardening and form eventually the robot's body.

imagine the size of a large group of smaller, more flexible software robot is clearing rocket engine and fixed mav, or destroy buildings looking for survivors in the earthquake, or a cleaning to remove blocked arteries in the human body, and even assist in space exploration.
the role of laser processing technology in MORPH system is self-evident, no fine to mm laser processing, can't make it let liquid or gas through micro channels, software spider robot can't move. This kind of method for researchers pay more attention to medical applications opened the door of a door into software robots. With the development of science and technology, the progress of era,
laser equipment is widely used in many fields, believe that the laser processing technology in the future will be more broad application prospect.
