Progress on ‘pico’ air vehicles (2012, methodology): “With the advent of mesoscopic manufacturing methods (Wood et al., 2008; Whitney et al., 2011), we have demonstrated key components of the flight apparatus of robotic insects (Wood et al., 2005; Wood, 2007) and recently the first demonstration of a 60 mg flapping-wing device which can produce thrust…”
Monolithic fabrication of millimeter-scale machines (2012, background): “Previous attempts to manufacture such devices have relied on highly skilled manual process steps [6–8].”
Soft Robots Manufacturing: A Review (2018, methodology): “Using these manufacturing methods with a combination of etching, cutting and lamination steps, it is possible to create planar multi-layered systems that can exhibit out of plane motion (Wood et al., 2008; Jacobsen et al., 2009; Russo et al., 2017).”
Programmable matter by folding (2010, methodology): “This composite process shares similarities with Shape Deposition Manufacturing (22) and Smart Composite Microstructures (23), both of which were established as rapid fabrication techniques for composite robotic structures.”
The First Takeoff of a Biologically Inspired At-Scale Robotic Insect (2008, methodology): “Thus, a “meso” scale rapid fabrication method, called smart composite microstructures (SCMs), is used to bridge this gap (for details, see [8]).”
Omega-Shaped Inchworm-Inspired Crawling Robot With Large-Index-and-Pitch (LIP) SMA Spring Actuators (2013, methodology): “These robots were built from a composite structure with flexure joints [13] and an SMA spring actuator.”
