Micro-rocker Bot Moves by Stick Slip Motion

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Micro-rocker Bot Moves by Stick Slip Motion

The micro-rocker bots created at Georgia Tech are designed to move by performing a stick–slip motion with an out-of-plane magnetic field. The stick-slip motion makes the robots look like they are walking or wobbling to their destination. The scale of the video is 500 micrometers (half a millimeter), and the red line shows the micro-bots trajectory.
