Накратко на български

Меките органични материали, като течните кристални еластомери, се изследват за създаване на роботизирани повърхности и задвижващи механизми. Те позволяват развитието на по-гъвкави технологии за хирургия, доставяне на лекарства и интелигентни интерфейси.

Soft and Tangible Organic Responsive Materials progressing roBOTic functionS

Soft responsive materials are driving innovations in robotics, impacting surgery, drug delivery, and smart interfaces. Unlike rigid materials, they can sense and act autonomously. In this scenario, liquid crystal elastomers are receiving an increasing deal of attention as they exhibit large, programmable mechanical deformations in response to different stimuli. Europe has played a leading role in liquid crystal science since its birth. To be at the forefront also tomorrow, STORM-BOTS has aimed at harnessing the full potential of liquid-crystal-based responsive surfaces, soft actuators and smart machines. Encompassing aspects from chemistry, physics, materials science, advanced manufacturing and robotics, this MSC Action, Soft and Tangible Organic Responsive Materials progressing roBOTic functions (STORM-BOTS), has been training 13 science-educated and engineering-minded young pioneers to advance the state-of-the-art of this exciting research field. STORM-BOTS has relied on academic and non-academic leaders from top research institutions with unique scientific and technical expertise, in order to provide the next generation of scientists and engineers with the best possible research environment for developing new materials and manufacturing tools enabling advanced soft robotic functions. STORM-BOTS has provided early-stage researchers (ESRs) with a transnational, comprehensive, highly integrated, multidisciplinary and multi-sectoral training programme. Through local and network-wide training activities, the fellows have learnt the many faces of this cutting-edge research area, as well as a variety of relevant transferable skills needed for their future careers. The main scientific goal of the STORM-BOTS project has been the development of an advanced and versatile technology platform, relying on liquid-crystal materials responsive to different stimuli, advanced manufacturing tools as well as theory and modelling, to progress towards new soft robotic functions. The research programme to accomplish this objective has been implemented through 13 ESRs, leading to the creation of soft responsive components and surfaces contributing to further developing robotics and haptics. Moreover, the ultimate goal of STORM-BOTS has been to provide a new generation of highly-skilled scientists with solid multidisciplinary, inter-sectoral and international training in the field of Liquid Crystal-based actuators and robotic systems.

Цел на проекта

Soft responsive materials and new fabrication schemes are key ingredients to develop new disruptive technologies for robotic elements and devices. Such devices are anticipated to revolutionize the fields of minimally invasive surgery, targeted drug delivery, material sampling and manipulation, responsive functional surfaces and human-machine interfaces. The use of soft responsive, instead of hard inert, matter in these areas provides unique features such as the material being able to sense the environment and autonomously perform complex tasks – “the material is the machine”. In this scenario, liquid crystal elastomers are receiving an increasing deal of attention as they exhibit large, programmable mechanical deformations in response to different stimuli. Europe has played a leading role in liquid crystal science since its birth. To be at the forefront also tomorrow, we aim at harnessing the full potential of liquid-crystal-based responsive surfaces, soft actuators and smart machines. Encompassing aspects from chemistry, physics, materials science, advanced manufacturing and robotics, we will train 13 science-educated and engineering-minded young pioneers to advance the state of the art of this exciting research field. STORM-BOTS will count on academic and non-academic leaders from top research institutions and with unique scientific and technical expertise, in order to provide the next generation of scientists and engineers the best possible research environment for developing new materials and manufacturing tools to enable advanced robotic functions. Based on innovative individual research projects, STORM-BOTS will provide the students with a transnational, comprehensive, highly integrated, multidisciplinary and multi-sectoral training programme. Through local and network-wide training activities, the students will learn the many faces of this cutting-edge research area, as well as a variety of relevant transferable skills needed for their future careers.
