Towards Energetically Autonomous Foraging Soft Robots
A significant goal of robotics is to develop autonomous machines, capable of independent and collective operation free from human assistance. To operate with complete autonomy robots must be capable of independent movement and total energy self-sufficiency. We present the design of a soft robotic mouth and artificial stomach for aquatic robots that will allow them to feed on biomatter in their ...
متن کاملEnergetically Autonomous Robots
EcoBot I is a robot developed in the IAS Lab that uses Microbial Fuel Cells (MFC) as the ‘live engine’ and glucose as the fuel. This prototype robot employs no other form of conventional power supply and it proves the concept of autonomy whilst at the same time performing photo-taxis. Recent experiments conducted in our lab, employing two different techniques, have suggested that the power outp...
متن کاملToward Autonomous Rescue Robots
Mobile robots can be highly valuable tools in Urban Rescue Missions, inspecting collapsed buildings, assessing the situation, looking for victims and establishing a first contact to them. At the International University Bremen (IUB), rescue robots for these tasks are developed. The American National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) has developed a special testing arena based on dat...
متن کاملToward Autonomous Free-Climbing Robots
The goal of this research is to enable a multi-limbed robot to climb vertical rock using techniques similar to those developed by human climbers. The robot consists of a small number of articulated limbs. Only the limb end-points can make contact with the environment—a vertical surface with small, arbitrarily distributed features called holds. A path through this environment is a sequence of on...
متن کاملEatr: Energetically Autonomous Tactical Robot
The purpose of the Energetically Autonomous Tactical Robot (EATR) TM project is to develop and demonstrate an autonomous robotic platform able to perform longrange, long-endurance missions without the need for manual or conventional re-fueling, which would otherwise preclude the ability of the robot to perform such missions. The system obtains its energy by foraging – engaging in biologically-i...
