Tiny in size, Giant in use

My project is a tiny robot , I got this design by studying ants'bodies and mechanism. I aim to make a robot which can work in missions instead of mankind, like lifting heavy things and also in space.

Comment

Inspiration: Studying ants inspired me, I believe that we should watch living organisms to learn from their abilities and great creation.

What it does: It can lift heavy things, even in case of low\no gravity as space or on mountains as they are very flexible and strong, as a robot with mass 60 grams can carry a 300 kilogram object, which is 5000 times its own mass, It can also help to develop machines used this days, and I have also a design to micro and nano robots which will help in fixing machines in a very accurate way.

How we built it:We use compressed silicon coiled with electric wires which has been under high temperature for 15 minutes and then high pressure and temperature of 20 degrees Celsius for 4 hours. It will give flexibility and strength. We will connect it to the exoskeleton to get out it in the form of hair like object. This will be inside legs and head, too.

    For exoskeleton we use thin light aluminum layer which is compressed as  a polymer to give strength or the newly discovered DPA-1 is used.
   Body, head, each leg and neck are made separately with joints allowing them to move freely.
   The body is made of two joined parts, the smallest is with the battery in it with a higher position, more wires, less silicon, the other is vice versa.

Challenges we ran into: It needed a lot of accurate designs and very accurate detailed work.

Accomplishments that we're proud of: Making a robot which is strong and flexible with known materials in industry, It has a simple data base in an electronic slide which can be edited and developed by using an ordinary computer.

What we learned: A lot of Artificial intelligence, robotics,engineering,and animal science as well as a lot of life skills during the work.

What's next for Tiny in size, Giant in use: I will develop the micro and nano designs and increase the weight the robot can lift. I also want to produce it to show its importance in real life.
