3D printed auxetics (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Walters, P. (2018, October). 3D printed auxetics. Presented at 4th VIPER School: Composite structures and auxetic systems, Bristol, UK

The term 3D printing refers to the fabrication of physical objects directly from 3D computer aided design data. Also known as additive layer manufacturing and rapid prototyping, 3D printing generally works by solidifying, fusing or depositing materia... Read More about 3D printed auxetics.

Dielectric elastomer pump for artificial organisms (2011)
Journal Article
Rossiter, J. M., Bowers, A. E., Walters, P., & Ieropoulos, I. (2011). Dielectric elastomer pump for artificial organisms. Proceedings of SPIE, 7976, https://doi.org/10.1117/12.880440

This paper presents a bio-inspired, dielectric elastomer (DE) based tubular pumping unit, developed for eventual use as a component of an artificial digestive tract onboard a microbial fuel cell powered robot (EcoBot). The pump effects fluid displace... Read More about Dielectric elastomer pump for artificial organisms.

Digital fabrication of a novel bio-actuator for bio-robotic art and design (2011)
Conference Proceeding
Walters, P., McGoran, D., & Ieropoulos, I. (2011). Digital fabrication of a novel bio-actuator for bio-robotic art and design. In Society for Imaging Science and Technology (Ed.), NIP27: International Conference on Digital Printing Technologies and Digital Fabrication 2011 (496-499)

We describe the design, fabrication and testing of a biologically-driven actuator which serves as a proof-or-concept "artificial heartbeat" for future use within bio-robotic art and design. The actuator employs live biological material, both as a sou... Read More about Digital fabrication of a novel bio-actuator for bio-robotic art and design.
