Physical Intelligence News 26-02-2020 Seeschnecken-Roboter erwacht durch Licht zum Leben Snail-o-Bot aus Flüssigkristall konstruiert und wirbellosen Wassertieren nachempfunden Forscher am Max-Planck-Institut für Intelligente Systeme in Stuttgart haben in Zusammenarbeit mit der Universität Tampere in Finnland einen gelartigen Roboter aus Flüssigkristallen entwickelt, der Schnecken und Seeschnecken nachempfunden ist und durch Licht gesteuert werden kann. Ähnlich wie der weiche Körper dieser wirbellosen Wassertiere kann sich der von der Natur inspirierte Roboter in Flüssigkeit leicht verformen, wenn er Licht als Energiequelle ausgesetzt wird. Dank speziell ausgerichteter Flüssigkristall-Moleküle und der Beleuchtung bestimmter Teile des Roboters ist Snail-o-Bot in der Lage, im Wasser zu krabbeln, laufen, springen und schwimmen. Die Wissenschaftler sehen ihr Forschungsprojekt als Inspiration für andere Robotiker, die ebenfalls an kabellosen, leicht verformbaren und schwimmenden Roboter forschen. Solche Erfindungen könnten eines Tages eine wichtige Rolle im Forschungsbereich der minimal-invasiven, roboter-unterstützten Medizin spielen. Hamed Shahsavan Amirreza Aghakhani Metin Sitti Yubing Guo

Physical Intelligence News 03-02-2020 Akustisch angetriebener Mikroroboter stellt natürliche Mikroschwimmer in den Schatten Forscher am Max-Planck-Institut für Intelligente Systeme in Stuttgart haben einen frei beweglichen Mikroroboter entwickelt, der sowohl auf einer flachen als auch gekrümmten Oberfläche in einer Flüssigkeit gleiten kann, wenn er Ultraschallwellen ausgesetzt wird. Seine Antriebskraft ist zwei bis drei Größenordnungen stärker als die von natürlichen Mikroorganismen wie Bakterien oder Algen. Außerdem kann er während des Schwimmens Ladung transportieren. Der akustisch angetriebene Roboter birgt großes Potential, die zukünftige minimal-invasive Behandlung von Patienten zu revolutionieren. Metin Sitti Amirreza Aghakhani Oncay Yasa
