Single-Input Control of Large Microrobot Swarms using Serial Addressing for Microassembly and Biomedical Applications

This collaborative research project will create a practical control scheme for large swarms of microrobots. These robots are typically no more than a few millimeters in length, and rely on an external power source and control signal. Currently, it is possible to steer the swarm as a whole to a single destination (or perhaps, to a desired average location). However, realizing the full potential benefits of microrobot swarms will require the ability to simultaneously send independent commands, either to individual robots or to small subgroups.

Dr. Arnold's Group Open House

Event date: 
Fri, 11/16/2018 - 1:00pm to 2:00pm

Dr. Arnold’s group will have an open house on Friday 11/16 at 1:00 PM in the Magnetics lab (Larsen 126). The open house is an invitation to everyone in IMG to learn about the research, the projects, and the equipments of an IMG group. Some demos will be set up in the magnetic lab, and students will discuss about their projects.

  • Nicolas Garraud: Electrodynamic wireless power transfer (EWPT).
  • Keisha Castillo-Torres: Bio-applications of the rotational dynamics setup and magnetic microdiscs.
  • Connor Smith: Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) general overview and demo.
  • Yuzheng Wang: Characterization of electro-permanent magnet (EPM) samples using the VSM.
  • Jacob Ewing: Screen-printed magnetic films for MEMS.
