Dynamic Modeling of Stick-Slip Motion in a Legged, Piezoelectric Driven Microrobot
The motion of a stick-slip microrobot propelled by its piezoelectric unimorph legs is mathematically modeled. Using a continuously distributed mass model for the robot's body, the working equation of the mechanism is derived based on the assumption of linear Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and line...
