As fast as their tiny bot legs will carry them!

The video explores the impressive abilities of insects and how they inspire the development of microrobots. Engineer Sarah Bergbreiter and her team at the University of Maryland are creating microrobots with insect-like legs, aiming to traverse rough terrain at high speeds. The team uses processes similar to those for making integrated circuits to build these tiny robots. They test different materials and designs, focusing on movement and jumping capabilities. The microrobots have potential applications in surveillance, microsurgery, structural monitoring, and search and rescue missions.

What challenges do the engineers face when determining how microrobots should move?
