Ngokweengxelo zeendaba zamanye amazwe, irobhothi yeDelta ingasetyenziswa kakhulu kumgca wokudibanisa ngenxa yesantya sayo kunye nokuguquguquka kwayo, kodwa olu hlobo lomsebenzi lufuna indawo eninzi. Kwaye kutshanje, iinjineli ezivela kwiYunivesithi yaseHarvard ziye zaphuhlisa uhlobo oluncinci kakhulu lwengalo yerobhothi ehlabathini, ebizwa ngokuba yiMilliDelta. Njengoko igama lisitsho, iMillium+Delta, okanye iDelta encinci, inobude obuziimilimitha ezimbalwa kwaye ivumela ukukhetha ngokuchanekileyo, ukupakisha, kunye nokwenza, nokuba kwezinye iinkqubo ezingafunekiyo kakhulu.
Ngowama-2011, iqela laseHarvard's Wyssyan Institute laphuhlisa indlela yokwenza izinto ethe tyaba kwii-microrobots abazibiza ngokuba yi-pop-up microelectromechanical system (MEMS). Kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo, abaphandi baye bayisebenzisa le ngcinga, bedala irobhothi ezizihlanganisayo kunye nerobhothi yenyosi ekhawulezayo ebizwa ngokuba yiRobobee. I-MilliDelct yamva nje nayo yakhiwe kusetyenziswa obu buchwepheshe.
I-MilliDelta yenziwe ngesakhiwo esidityanisiweyo esinomxube kunye namalungu amaninzi aguquguqukayo, kwaye ukongeza ekufezekiseni ubuchule obufanayo nerobhothi yeDelta epheleleyo, inokusebenza kwindawo encinci njengee-cubic millimeters ezisi-7 kunye nokuchaneka kwee-micrometers ezi-5. I-MilliDelta ngokwayo yi-15 x 15 x 20 mm kuphela.
Ingalo encinci yerobhothi inokulinganisa ukusetyenziswa okwahlukeneyo kwabazalwana bayo abakhulu, isetyenziselwa ukukhetha nokupakisha izinto ezincinci, njengezixhobo ze-elektroniki kwilebhu, iibhetri okanye ukusebenza njengesandla esizinzileyo sotyando lwe-microsurgery. I-MilliDelta igqibile utyando lwayo lokuqala, ithatha inxaxheba kuvavanyo lwesixhobo sokunyanga ukungcangcazela kokuqala komntu.
Ingxelo yophando enxulumene nayo ipapashwe kwiSayensi Robotics.
