Abstract: We report the hexapod microrobot controlled by the bare chip IC of hardware neural networks. MEMS technology is used for fabrication of the microrobot. Actuators of the robots are used lead zirconium titanate (PZT) and shape memory alloy (SMA). As the result, PZT type is realized the walking motion by bare chip IC. Moreover, SMA type can be succeeded the hexapod walking locomotion with mounted bare chip IC. The walking speed is 2.4mm / min and the step width was 0.083mm.
