Collective behavioru of piezoelectric walking microrobots

摘要

In this paper some new results concerning the collective behaviour of a colony of PLIF microrobots are presented. A brief introduction on the peculiarities of the piezoelectric PLIF microrobots is firstly given, then the results of the co-operation of three robots are illustrated both in simulation and in a real application. From the exposed results it follows that the implemented strategy is robust both to external disturbances and to the failure of some robots.
