UCLA Reveals Printed Piezoelectric Meta-bots

Posted: 17 Jun 2022 09:30 AM PDT

Piezoelectric Meta-botsEngineers at UCLA have unveiled a new method of printing functional miniature robots that can be manufactured with a single printing process. The little fingernail-sized robots, dubbed meta-bots are printed with their mechanical and electrical systems complete, and this is achieved by use of piezoelectric metamaterials. Typically, piezoelectric actuation only has a single degree of […]

isogrid-featuredSpace hardware needs a lot of panels. Be it for rocket bodies, satellite structures, and even space stations. In particular, space hardware needs strong, stiff and lightweight panels. This can be in the form of honeycomb structures, or in the case of this article, in isogrid panels. An isogrid panel is like a solid panel, […]
