HAMR - Ambulatory Microrobots

Cockroach-Inspired Microbot

CHECK IT OUT

A robotic cockroach by name "HAMR" can swim on surface of water.

  • It can walk on land like a real cockroach

  • It can even walk underwater.

When HAMR wants to swim, it utilizes multifunctional foot pads that are reliant on surface tension and its induced buoyancy.

That said, if HAMR wants to sink underwater, it can even apply a voltage in order to break the surface of the water. This entire process is known as electrowetting.

It is 1.5 gram and we can find more than 60 joints.

Even it can carry payload of 1.44 grams without being drowning

It has got multipurpose foot pads. ad it depends entirely on surface tension.

have you seen diving beetle? The same way this robot works and paddles on the water surface to swim
