DESCRIPTION:In the near future, swarms of insect-scale robots will be vital tools in industrial, commercial, and personal settings. While bioinspired approaches to propelling insect-scale fliers have yielded promising results, they present a very challenging path to ubiquity. In this talk, I will present my efforts to develop a new class of flying microrobot which moves unlike anything found in nature, propelled by silent and solid-state atmospheric ion thrusters. After a journey from initial theory to the first controlled flight, I will discuss the path towards power autonomy, as well as a variety of exciting new applications for high-performance electrohydrodynamic actuators. The talk will conclude by touching on some of the new strategies my group is taking to move beyond individual platforms and start to develop truly useful swarms. // Daniel S.
