The goal of this project was to replicate and improve upon the process for making paper microfluidics put forth in this paper by Whitesides .
One subject I explored in this project was the integration of paper microfluidics into electronic circuits. Here the passing of fluid through a channel causes an LED to light up momentarily.
This was a capstone project to develop a prototype and investigate materials selection for a 3D printed prosthetic arm for amputees, being quite broad this project has and will continue to turn in different directions depending on needs and interests.
This project revolves mostly around the fabrication of a soft robotic system out of a flexible filament that requires no post processing after printing. Additionally, a new design is constructed for a worm-like robot and accompanying control system.
