FIELD: physics, robotics.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to microrobotics, wherein the basic moving elements of the structure are microsystem devices based on silicon microfabrication technologies. The inspector robot can be used when designing systems for inspecting and repairing equipment located in hard-to-reach areas of spacecraft owing to controlled movement in at least two directions, the possibility of transferring a payload and operation in a space environment.
EFFECT: invention enables movement on surfaces with a different degree of roughness and unevenness, including overcoming stepped irregularities, resistance to harsh operating temperature conditions, high reliability owing to use of thermomechanical actuators which are resistant to repeated bending, faster movement owing to the combined use of differently-sized actuating elements.
