Abstract
The research of biomimetic micro-robots has become a hot-spot in recent years. This paper describes a novel biomimetic micro hexapod, the size of which is less than 30 mm×20 mm×20 mm, while it can perform some basic motions with satisfying velocity. The motion of each pod of robot is based on traditional kinematic linkages, and the turning of robot is implemented by its two-frame architecture. Communication capability, one of the most essential features of intelligent robot, is also achieved on the robot.
