| Abstract | Title of Document: Novel Integrated System Architecture for an Autonomous Jumping Micro-Robot Wayne A. Churaman, M.S., 2010 Directed By: Dr. Neil Goldsman, ECE ; Dr. Sarah Bergbreiter, ME As the capability and complexity of robotic platforms continue to evolve from the macro to micro-scale, innovation of such systems is driven by the notion that a robot must be able to sense, think, and act [1]. The traditional architecture of a robotic platform consists of a structural layer upon which, actuators, controls, power, and communication modules are integrated for optimal system performance. The structural layer, for many micro-scale platforms, has commonly been implemented using a silicon die, thus leading to robotic platforms referred to as “walking chips” [2]. In this thesis, the first-ever jumping microrobotic platform is demonstrated using a hybrid integration approach to assemble on-board sensing and power directly onto a polymer chassis. The microrobot detects a change in light intensity and ignites 0.21mg of integrated nanoporous energetic silicon, resulting in 246μJ of kinetic energy and a vertical jump height of 8cm.
