When robots start to use organic living as food, do humans feel a chill? According to reports from the Russian Satellite Network, engineers at Bristol's Robot Laboratory in the United Kingdom have created a robot that can "swallow" living organisms and extract energy from them. According to reports, the "mouth" of this robot is a soft polymer film. Through this membrane, food or water containing organisms can be injected into the "stomach" of the robot, which is a microbial fuel cell filled with bacteria. This bacteria can break down organisms and produce energy for robots. There is also a special vent or pipe on the back of the robot to eliminate waste.
Experts pointed out that this method produces little energy. But developers point out that they can successfully reduce the energy consumption of robots through special polymers. They also pointed out that increasing the number of microbial fuel cells can increase efficiency.
Because robots can operate independently for long periods of time, scientists have pointed out that such robots can be used in environments with water, such as water environments containing radioactive or toxic substances.
In fact, as early as March of this year, the Bristol Robotics Laboratory and the British University of Bath and Queen Mary University of London researchers jointly developed a new type of catalyst that uses the typical components of kitchen waste as an effective catalyst. Microbial fuel cells, small size, low price, but the performance is more powerful.
The microbial fuel cell is a device that uses certain bacteria to convert organic matter into electrical energy. Other methods for producing bioenergy include anaerobic digestion, fermentation, and gasification. Microbial fuel cells have many advantages, they can work under normal temperature and pressure, have high efficiency, and produce less waste than other methods.
In order to speed up the reaction and generate more electricity, the researchers used an ingredient made from sugar, egg albumin, egg white protein and other ingredients in kitchen waste to make an effective catalyst. The study found that the optimized battery design doubles the length of the electrode, from 4mm to 8mm, while the power output increases 10 times. By stacking three small microbial fuel cells, the output power is 10 times higher than that of a single battery. The researchers emphasized that microbial fuel cells can provide energy for poor rural areas in developing countries.
