Device for Simultaneous Wind and Raindrop Energy Harvesting Operating on the Surface of Plant Leaves

Serena Armiento, Fabian Meder, Barbara Mazzolai

RA-L 2023

Soft (bio)hybrid robotics aims at interfacing living beings with artificial technology. It was recently demonstrated that plant leaves coupled with artificial leaves of selected materials and tailored mechanics can convert wind-driven leaf fluttering into electricity. Here, we significantly advance

A Plant Tendril-Like Soft Robot That Grasps and Anchors by Exploiting its Material Arrangement

Fabian Meder, Saravana Prashanth Murali Babu, Barbara Mazzolai

RA-L 2022

Some climbing plants use tendrils as efficient strategies to anchor and support their weights while they move in unstructured environments. In this letter, we mimic the essential functions of tendrils that wrap around the support in a soft state by a spiral winding (coiling) and then lignify or stif
