Developing environmentally friendly liquid robots
Author: Dr Noushin Raeisi Kheirabadi, Research Fellow, Unconventional Computing Lab
I’m a research fellow in the Unconventional Computing Lab. It’s a European funded project (COGiTOR) to make liquid robots.
We are working to produce liquid computing and biological computers. Holonomic memory and computing, pressure sensing, and energy harvesting from thermal gradients will be achieved using colloids. These will have a lot of benefits for the environment. Liquid robots are completely environmentally friendly too. They can be recycled easily in the environment.
My great passion is to change the world and help the environment. I believe that through our work we can make a very big difference in the future. This is exciting to me. What we are doing is new and novel.
I love what I do. And being in research at UWE Bristol is very inspiring and you’re constantly learning.
