Company Profile
Our research focuses on design, fabrication, control, and analysis of biologically-inspired microrobots and soft robots. Expertise in microfabrication and microsystem design, combined with insights from arthropods, enable us to create high-performance aerial and ambulatory microrobots. Such robotic platforms can be used for search and rescue operations, assisted agriculture, environmental monitoring, and exploration of hazardous environments. The Lab was founded within the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences by Prof. Robert Wood. It houses all the necessary tools to create the micromechatronic components of robotic insects as well as soft robotics, multifunctional materials, and artificial muscles. The Harvard Microrobotics Lab is closely involved with the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering and Prof. Wood is a core faculty member of the Institute.
