Artificial Muscles Powered by Glucose [PDF]
Advanced Materials, 2019 AbstractUntethered actuation is important for robotic devices to achieve autonomous motion, which is typically enabled by using batteries. Using enzymes to provide the required electrical charge is particularly interesting as it will enable direct harvesting of fuel components from a surrounding fluid. Here, a soft artificial muscle is presented, which

An In-Pipe Mobile Robot Using Electro-Conjugate Fluid
Journal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2011 An electro-conjugate fluid (ECF) is a kind of functional fluid, which produces a jet flow (ECF jet) when subjected to high DC voltage. It is known that a strong ECF jet is generated under nonuniform electric field, for example, the field with a pair of ...
