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...
