Estimated overall performance
wireless data 670uA 2.4GHz receive 1mA 2.4GHz transmit 125uA 5MHz, 1V 64 KB IMEM, 64 KB DMEM, 16 KB ROM ~22uA sleep current 3uA central clock 19uA digital leakage
7
Where could this go? Lower VDD, adjustable clock speed, selectively power areas of the chip, use low-leakage memory 100x better leakage, ~2x better active power VDD = 0.39V, fclk = 688kHz
8
4x 1V electrostatic control outputs for 1 leg
Microrobot Control pads 4x 1V electrostatic control outputs for 1 leg 2x digital leg position sensors w/ resistive pull-up Program load Reset, status outputs, power 60x60um pads, 80um pitch Total chip 2mm wide Command Translation Motors Feedback

High-voltage solar cells
1V signal 2.4GHz wifi SCuM High-voltage switches Normally 1V signal 4x Electrostatic gap closers 2x inchworm motors 1x robot leg Grounding Contact Grounding Contact
13
Add-ons Dedicated robot leg feedback controller
Say "go" and turn off the microprocessor Drive slower when running low on energy Smarter position sense besides contact Level detection Fall over and ask, "Are you still there?" Command specificity & verification Robot IDs, encrypted communication channel Antenna
