Past Projects
Micromechanical Flying Insect (1998-2008) The goal of this project is to develop an autonomous 0.1 gram flying robot using insect-inspired wing kinematics.	MilliRobot Prototyping using Composite Fiber Toolkits (2000-2007) We developed a low cost (<$1000)) desktop factory which will allow users to build millirobots from a kit of components.
Tele-Taction and Tactile Sensing (1982-2002)	MicroGlider Project (2004-2005)
Desktop rapid prototyping millirobots (2000-2008)	Dextrous manipulation and microassembly Eiji Shimada's microassembly page
Credit card robot (1995)	Manipulation of microparts using force controlled pushing (1998)
Paramecia Control (1991)	Dextrous Manipulation, etc. from '80s	Dynamic modelling of fastener insertion (1991)
Millirobotics for Minimally-Invasive surgery (1994-2004)	Acrobot project 1988-1993. See e.g.  ``Control of a Two-Link Robot to Achieve Sliding and Hopping Gaits'', IEEE ICRA 1992.
