Frame without actuators or wings
Motivation:
This nano robot is my research project with the Soft and Micro Robotics lab. I also used it for my thesis.
Description:
The robot will be used to test control of a dragonfly like robot. It uses 4 soft actuators, which expand and contract in order to move the wings. The wings on this bot are placed at an angle, which differs from other robots the lab has created. It’s very tiny.
Dragonfly next to a quarter for scale
Testing fits with version 2
