The rise of bioinspired microrobots — ScienceDaily
by AI News Currents · March 3, 2018
Jumping robot spiders and swarms of robotic bees sounds like the stuff of science fiction, but researchers at The University of Manchester are already working on such projects and aiming to lead the world in micro robotics.
But what will these kinds of robots be used for and is it something we should be worried? Dr Mostafa Nabawy is the Microsystems Research Theme Leader at The University of Manchester’s School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering. He is presenting some of his research, “Spiders Attack: The rise of bioinspired microrobots†at Manchester’s Industry 4.0 Summit on Thursday 1 March.
