Abstract :
Inspired by the success of Robocup [1], the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) [2] proposed a robot competition at the microscale-the Mobile Microrobotics Challenge (MMC). Microrobots for this competition utilize microelectromechanical system technology and are actuated using advanced control systems.
