Scientists from the University of Cornell in the United States have signed a very interesting research. Within the scope of this research, two hydraulic liquid batteries were developed robot. It was also seen that this battery, which was shortened as RFB, also allowed to mimic biological actions by liberating electrolyte fluids dissolved to create strength through chemical reaction at once.
These two robots exhibited are a jellyfish and a worm. The battery gives power to these two robotes inspired by animals.
It will reduce the cost and burden and extend its life
The biggest objective of this hydraulic battery compared to the human beings is to reduce the weight and cost of robots using a concrete energy that includes the power supply into the body of the machine. There are too many robots that work in the form of hydraulicly, but this study sets a principle in using the hydraulic fluid as a battery. This reduces the overall burden of the robot. It can be said that RFB has two purpose. Providing the energy required for the system and moving it.
In addition, the new battery technology positively affects the use of use in addition to load and cost. In such a study, it was seen that the robot jellyfish was up to 1.5 hours thanks to the hydraulic battery. The RFB also has a tendon that can push the robot when it stretches in the bell form. When he relaxes, he goes down. This shows that the system provides an example of the real jellyfish.
When we look at the worm, we see that an example of an example of the snake robots. It contains a tendon that can expand and narrow each segment to move. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that both robots are impressive. These are a little more “simple organisms”. Researchers have added that in their subsequent studies, they aim to use the system in systems that need a solid skeletal structure for land animals, but this would be a strong process.
