Now we will see one microrobot. |

There is a cantilever structure which is not attached to substrate.When the voltage is applied between free end of cantilever & substrate because of electrostatic charges in the gap there will be electrostatic force of attaraction due to which it will bend down.(II) If voltage is further increased it will further bend & will scratch on substrate.(III) Now if voltage is removed because of springback effect it will slide in left direction.This procedure is repeated in pulsed fashion to get movement of Robot.This is the basic idea. |

Other Futuristic Topics in Robotics : |
| |
Apart from micro robotics |
|
Underactuated manipulator systems: ex. 3-R manipulator with 2 actuating motors i.e. no. of degrees of freedom more than no. of actuators. |
| |
| |
Legged robots: running, hopping
|
| |
Underwater robots
|
| |
Flying robots: autonomous |
