© 2016 SPIE. One of the greatest challenges to modern technologies is what to do with them when they go irreparably wrong or come to the end of their productive lives. The convention, since the development of modern civilisation, is to discard a brok... Read More about Here today, gone tomorrow: Biodegradable soft robots.

Biodegradable and edible gelatine actuators for use as artificial muscles (2014)
Journal Article
Ieropoulos, I., Chambers, L. D., Winfield, J., Ieropoulos, I., & Rossiter, J. (2014). Biodegradable and edible gelatine actuators for use as artificial muscles. Proceedings of SPIE, 9056, 90560B. https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2045104

The expense and use of non-recyclable materials often requires the retrieval and recovery of exploratory robots. Therefore, conventional materials such as plastics and metals in robotics can be limiting. For applications such as environmental monitor...

Small scale microbial fuel cells and different ways of reporting output (2010)
Journal Article
Ieropoulos, I., Winfield, J., Greenman, J., & Melhuish, C. (2010). Small scale microbial fuel cells and different ways of reporting output. ECS Transactions, 28(9), 1-9. https://doi.org/10.1149/1.3492221

The present study, reports on the findings of connecting 2 stacks of 48 MFCs and the importance of maturity and acclimation for the anodic biofilms. Furthermore, an attempt is made to emphasize the importance of a universal unit for quantifying power... Read More about Small scale microbial fuel cells and different ways of reporting output.
