About
Riccy Kurniawan is a leading figure in the development of insect-scale robotics, with a primary focus on enabling autonomy through innovative power solutions. His most celebrated contribution is the creation of the first untethered, battery-free, sub-gram jumping robot, a 216-mg marvel that operates entirely through wireless power transmission. This landmark achievement, detailed in his highly cited 2020 paper, directly tackles the fundamental challenge of powering minuscule robots without the weight penalty of onboard batteries. By demonstrating that an insect-sized machine can jump and move autonomously while receiving power remotely, Kurniawan has opened new frontiers for applications in environmental monitoring, search-and-rescue, and covert surveillance. His work, which has garnered significant attention with 24 citations for this single breakthrough, is a cornerstone in the field of micro-robotics, proving that the long-sought goal of truly autonomous, insect-inspired machines is within reach.
