RoboBee offers diminutive size and insect-like flight prowess for a range of potential scientific, commercial, and emergency ...

PI's P-562.6CD 6DOF Nanopositioning Stage combines nanometer precision and millisecond response. Powered by PICMA® piezo actuators and play-free flexure-guided mechanics, the P-562.6CD provides ...

PI Ceramic, a leader in piezoceramic innovation, has significantly shortened its lead times for its highly reliable PICMA ® Stack multilayer piezo actuators. Furthermore, a polymer-free ...

The P-562 6-axis nanopositioning stage is driven by frictionless solid-state actuators and guided by a sophisticated backlash-free and play-free, parallel-kinematic flexure guiding system. Powered by ...

The Harvard RoboBee is now outfitted with its most reliable landing gear to date, inspired by one of nature’s most graceful ...

Inspired by this natural design, the engineers outfitted the RoboBee with its own set of long, double-jointed legs. These new ...

The RoboBee is already a little older. It has now been upgraded with a landing gear and a flight control system that enable ...

These improvements protect the robot's delicate piezoelectric actuators -- energy-dense "muscles" deployed for flight that are easily fractured by external forces from rough landings and collisions.
