Expertise in microfabrication and microsystem design, combined with insights from nature, have enabled Robert Woods at MIT's Microrobotics Lab to create high-performance aerial and ambulatory microrobots.
These robots are intended as tools to explore open questions in micromechanics, actuation, fluid mechanics, controls, and microelectronics. In addition, such robotic platforms can be used for search and rescue operations, assisted agriculture, environmental monitoring, and exploration of hazardous environments. However, the robots recently were used at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) Design and the Elastic Mind exhibit.
