Contents I. Introduction
Microrobotic systems that can interact with physical environments require efficient and high work density microactuators as well as effective mechanisms for translating input actuation into desired output motion in three-dimensional (3D) space. Ultimately, these mechanisms also need to be integrated with electronic components (e.g., microcontrollers and power supplies) to achieve higher robot autonomy [1]. However, creating actuated mechanisms at the small scale and developing the mechanisms into integrated robotic systems is challenging due to limited approaches for manufacturing and integration at the microscale.
