The Collective Behavior of Piezoelectric Walking Microrobots: Experimental Results

Abstract This paper presents some experimental results concerning the collective behavior of a colony of PLIF (Piezo Light Intelligent Flea) microrobots. An introduction to the peculiarities of piezoelectric PLIF microrobots is given, and then the results of co-operation by three robots aze illustrated in both simulation and a real application. From the results it emerges that the strategy implemented is robust to both external disturbances and faults in some robots.
