Are you with Harvard's Microrobotics Lab?
A Force of Nature
The Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University develops the milliDelta, a 15 mm x 15 mm x 20 mm high-speed, high-precision delta robot using origami-inspired PC-MEMS manufacturing and piezoelectric actuators for microsurgery, microassembly, and micromanipulation tasks. It operates in a 7 cubic mm workspace with micrometer precision, suitable for industrial pick-and-place and retinal surgeries. The technology is available for licensing.

The research-robot procurement RFP: questions and red flags
A structured RFP for research robot procurement covers SDK openness, ROS 2 support, spare parts, export control, and end-of-life risk. This is the checklist tha…
A 90-day playbook to stand up a new platform in a lab
Most research robot deployments fail at the handoff: the student who set it up leaves, and no one can reproduce the environment. This 90-day playbook builds rep…
