Micro robot arm

Scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) have created a relatively small machine arm of less than 1 mm in size, controlled by compressed air, operating quite safely and effectively in the environment learn. This can be seen as a step forward for expanding the application of robots into new areas such as medical microsurgery.

At the lab at UCLA, this mechanism has taken a caviar from an egg nest in the water. This is considered to be the smallest machine arm in the world that can serve for microsurgical cases.

This tool is especially safe for applications in the biological field. It does not use electric motors to create motion for the gripping devices that operate with compressed air. With this pneumatic system, the machine arm can operate in many different environments such as dry, moist .
