Abstract:
The goal of this project is to exploit the unique properties of a new enabling Artificial Muscle AM to create a cilia-based system for possible use in aquatic applications. Specifically, this project aims to extend the fundamental science behind IPMC material and through design and fabrication create a cilia-based system. An AM is a multifunctional, smart polymer whose electromechanical properties can be controlled, resulting in reproducible actuation and sensing capabilities. Like biological muscles, the AM technology exhibits large motion, good force, fast response, good efficiency, long cycle life, and silent operation.
