Descripción del proyecto Fluid circulation is ubiquitous in both living creatures and machines, and it serves multiple functions: temperature regulation, transport of nutrients, mechanical actuation. A beating heart is a soft pump that keeps animal alive through blood circulation. ROBOFLUID will merge fluids capabilities with electrical control to equip robots and wearables with the superpowers of fluids. By untangling the interaction between intense electric fields and fluid mechanics, ROBOFLUID will develop a new class of solid-state fluidic devices where flow is directly driven in situ by electrical signals, and where fluid velocity, pressure and temperature are used to sense the device status and the environment. The large number of components required to operate conventional fluidics (pumps, valves, tubing, plugs), have prevented its use in untethered systems. ROBOFLUID will overcome this limitation by means of solid-state pumps where fluids are directly accelerated by electric fields. Similarly, to robotic hearts, robotic fluids will drive (1) new strong and robust artificial muscles, (2) wearable coolers and (3) active textiles for movement support and haptics. ROBOFLUID will leverage our experience with soft robotics, electroactive materials and solid-state pumping based on Electrohydrodynamics (EHD). By bringing these fields together and bridging them with emerging active fibers technologies for wearables, we aim to create new scientific understanding of fluid mechanics and field emission in liquids under high electric fields and to create new ground-breaking functionalities for robots and wearables. We will create (1) robust, high-power-density fluidic muscles that will make low-cost dexterous robotic hands possible, (2) wearable coolers to reduce energy consumption from air conditioning and to protect fragile people during extreme heat waves, (3) textile artificial muscles to facilitate daily actions in the elderly and to enable remote physical interactions.
