N2 - In exploiting the unique capabilities of power transmission to space vehicles, micro-aero vehicles (MAV), or robots for remotely maneuverable capability, a power delivery method must provide not only sufficient power for space vehicles and robot devices, but also other relevant issues needs such as device-specific, configuration design, and power/control. The determination of navigation performance and analyses of confined areas for the maneuverable systems are complex jobs and need to be implemented and tested within the complete system. Such a power transmission philosophy can also be extended to the human body in the future. The sensors designed for deployment within the human body may require remote-control capabilities. These may include mechanical inchworms for colonoscopy; micro-robots for navigating insides of human body; ultra-lightweight flying materials; flapping wing for insectlike flying objects; and crawling worms. In this paper, we will discuss issues related to these applications, such as requirements of power feed and control. For many applications, flexible rectennas can be integrated on smart actuator arrays and a power allocation and distribution (PAD) device.
