Introduction: Animal science is a great science , and it becomes greater by applying it. So while watching ants , have you ever thought how strong are they ? Actually ants are much stronger than you , as you are hardly carrying things less than your own mass , they are carrying what is heavier than themselves from 10-50 and nowadays researches say from 1000-5000 times . Just imagine a robot with such features , it will be able to carry heavy things , and to hold things in case of low gravity in space, so I imagined. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………. Abstract Introduction: Studying living creatures enables mankind to create things and develop others, so I tried by studying ants' locomotory and muscular system to create a design of a robot which is small that can carry a lot , to be able to lift heavy things , and it can work in space or special conditions due to its amazing bite force and flexability.I wrote some papers about a micro and nano robot like this one and how could it be. Purpose: Creating a robot that can lift heavy things , work in special conditions , and developing some designs of currently used machines. Steps: 1) Design the internal part , I used compressed silicon with some development tied in a muscles like way , with wires between to allow electicity flowing.I connnect the internal parts with external ones to come out in a hair way, 2) A heart-like machine can be a dry cell or a water energy producer. 3) Exo skeleton with developed aluminium to give high volume low mass.DPA-1 can be used,too. 4)A developed legs of treated stainless steel which is flat in foot with flexibility in legs and joints. 5) A new way to lift works on neck joints and knee joints. 6) More volume of object lifted, More robots neeeded. Results: A robot of mass 60 grams can lift a 300 kilograms object. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………. Purpose: Creating a robot that can lift heavy things , work in special conditions , and developing some designs of currently used machines.This robot can help in communication work by adding a radio waves producer with a propogation electrommagnetic ( frequency 36 KHz and wavelength 4 m ) Variables: 1) Ability of robots to lift things big in volume heavy in mass. Solution: After estimating mass and volume, you can centrilize a robot under the middle point of the object or use two robot. 2) Keeping the weight suitable. 3) The effect of radio waves on the robot. Materials: 1) Compressed treated silicon.( 25 grams ) { 2 dollars } 2)Treated Aluminium. ( 30 grams ) { 2 dollars } 3) 35 centimeters of electric wires non-isolated. { 0.5 dollars } 4) A dry cell AA { 0.5 dollars } 5) Radio waves producer. Hypothesis: If robots used knee joints and back sides to lift – or bite force and neck joints to hold- , they will hold better. Square-Cube rule can lead to make strong robots like ants. Background research : Ants have been documented to carry up to 20 times their own body weight. If a human could lift 20 times their body weight, That'd be about 4,000 pounds, which would be similar to carrying a small SUV. Ants are capable of lifting very heavy weights, and there are both anatomical and physiological traits that allow them to do this. Ants use their jaws to pick things up and then use muscles in their neck to lift their head and lift the object on the ground. And then they can use their legs to actually stabilize themselves And carry that object wherever they want to go. Mandibles work on a simple hinge and are controlled by two muscles, an opener muscle and a closer muscle. The closer muscle is incredibly large. In some leafcutter ants, the closer muscle can take up almost half the volume of the head capsule and can account for 25% of the body weight of the whole ant. Radio waves : Radio waves are used for wireless transmission of sound messages, or information, for communication, as well as for maritime and aircraft navigation. The information is imposed on the electromagnetic carrier wave as amplitude modulation (AM) or as frequency modulation (FM) or in digital form (pulse modulation). Transmission therefore involves not a single-frequency electromagnetic wave but rather a frequency band whose width is proportional to the information density. The width is about 10,000 Hz for telephone, 20,000 Hz for high-fidelity sound, and five megahertz (MHz = one million hertz) for high-definition television. This width and the decrease in efficiency of generating electromagnetic waves with decreasing frequency sets a lower frequency limit for radio waves near 10,000 Hz. Applications: It can carry heavy objects with a strong hold which will be practical in case of low gravity, hard earth features, and carrying things heavier than its weight by 5000 times. Procedures: 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. It works with a remote control. Future research: 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.
