A micro robot that can move for itself is provided. The micro robot moves by moving a plurality of legs with a plurality of cams driven by a driving device, which comprises a micro robot body, a rotational shaft installed in the body and connected to driving device for generating rotational force, a plurality of cams positioned sequentially and connected to the rotational shaft having a certain phase difference centering around the rotational shaft, a plurality of legs installed in the body capable of moving by rotation of the cams, said legs being abutted to the respective cams at one end portion thereof and protruding outwardly from the body at the other end portion thereof, respectively and a locomotion device for moving the body.

Micro robot

A micro robot driving system for endoscope can move a micro robot forward, backward or changing the direction by transmitting rotation force generated by a driving means to a worm gear or a gear tooth shaped belt by a worm. The micro robot driving system in accordance with the present invention includes a micro robot body, rotational force transmitting means installed in the body, for transmitting rotational force generated by driving means and movement means which is connected with the rotational force transmitting means, protruded from the body, for moving the body by rotational force transmitted by the rotational force transmitting means.
