Design of a Green Microbial Fuel Cell for Soft Robotics

Creator:

Van Volkenburg, Tessa

Abstract:

This work introduces the design and fabrication of a green-sourced and mostly biodegradable microbial fuel cell for use in soft robotic applications from environmental sensing to wastewater remediation. Theorized from other biodegradable fuel cells, this prototype achieved maximum power densities of 4.0 x 10−4 W/m2 in the single-chambered design and...

Improving Soft Snake Robot Locomotion Through Targeted Environmental Interactions Using Artificial Snake Skin

Creator:

Branyan, Callie A.

Abstract:

This dissertation outlines the design and development of the first fully-soft, snake robot and its snake-inspired skin. Soft robotics takes advantage of soft materials to, among other things, improve robot interactions with complex, unstructured environments. Due to the interplay between the soft material and the environment, minor tweaks to the...
