Playing with the reprap

Ny first print tries, still need to calibrate the extrussion..

Just installed the mobile Blogger client.

First post includes a "Beringela recheada" (stuffed eggplant) from the weekend :) highly recommended.

Can Printed Circuit MEMS (PC-MEMS) jump modular robotics to the millimetric scale?

I've been following the Claytronics and Modular robotics for a while now..

However until recently all systems where either to big or too simple:

A revolution was required and today I learned about what might just be it: Harvard's Monolithic Bee.

"...a millimeter-scale flapping wing robotic insect produced using Printed Circuit MEMS (PC-MEMS) techniques."

I cannot avoid raising hopes on how this technology can speedup developments on Claytronics/ Modular Robotics on the micro-scales.
