Abstract
Miniaturized autonomous robots have been developed by several research groups. The miniaturized autonomous robot is defined as a miniaturized closed-loop system with microprocessors, microactuators, and microsensors. We developed a micro autonomous robot (MARS) consisting of a microprocessor, microsensors, microactuators, communication units, and batteries. MARS controls itself by a downloaded program supplied through infrared communication. We demonstrate performance of MARS, and discuss system features.
