Microrrobot manufacturing: MEMSLAB at University of Extremadura

Microrobotics is an emerging field of research with countless applications in industry, biology and medicine. Despite advances in the field, there are still considerable challenges including that of micrometer-scale robot manufacturing. The fabrication of microrobots benefits from advances in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) manufacturing. This paper presents the equipment that forms the MEMS fabrication laboratory at Universidad de Extremadura (UEX), as well as examples of microrobot fabrication that have been carried out.
