Abstract
. Designed walking paths of the microwalker on a horizontal substrate are also demonstrated. Besides walking on horizontal flat surfaces, the microwalker can climb up slopes and walk freely in circular microtubes. The microwalker is of interest in fundamental robotic gait research and for micromanipulation applications.
