Extract

This special issue in Robotica contains papers from Japanese authors on microrobots and distributed microactuators. Advances in technology made possible progress in the realm of small but complicated microsystems that include different elements, such as sensors, circuits and actuators. Microsystems are also called micromachines or microelectromechanical systems (MEMS); microsystems which move like insects are termed microrobots.
