“Despite the existence of microscale flying insects, aerial microrobots have not been previously investigated,” said Paprotny. “This project will validate the feasibility of achieving untethered, controlled opto-radiometric microscale flight. The results will pave the way for a new class of aerial microrobots with applications such as surveillance, microassembly, airborne pollution monitoring and airborne threat detection.” Paprotny will receive $107,000 in funding from Aclima, Inc. on July 16 for his project “Development of Low-cost/Low-power Selective MWCNT Methane Sensor.” Learn more about Dr. Paprotny’s research at Paprotny Laboratory |
