7-Assortment of Bending Polymeric Artificial-MicroMuscles

Environmental Robots, Inc. is pleased to announce an exciting new product comprising of 8 tiny little micro-muscles (in a few hundreds of microns range) in an assortment  for a price of  US$1,667. The assortment package includes: eight (8) different samples of Ionic Polymeric Metal Composite (IPMCs) artificial micro-muscles of a thickness of 20-30 microns and lengths of a few mms. The bending and flexing polymeric artificial micro-muscles which are also micro-sensors and micro-transducers are primarily for Actuation in Air but they also do work in a wet polar liquid environment, water, blood, biological tissue and ionic liquid environment.  Typically, the bending/flexing artificial muscles in a cantilever mode have a tip motion of about 100's of microns per millivolt. These bending/flexing micro-muscles can also respond to various dynamic voltage signals such as sinusoidal, square wave, triangular wave, saw tooth wave in a linear manner under robotic supervisory control.   If they are bent, flexed or squeezed, they generate a few microvolts. These are exciting micro-muscles for scientists and engineers dealing with MEMS, NEMS, nano bio and biomedical research.  Special Offer with 20% discount in general and additional 10% discount for academic and research institutions.

10-ERI Joints and Muscles Power Augmentation Systems: Contact ERI for Price

These power augmentation systems which will be either free-standing or embedded in attires, jackets, coats, pants, sleeves or boots are designed and fabricated for people with joint and muscle power deficiencies and disabilities such as paraplegics, quadriplegics, elderly and the disabled people. They will enable the user to convert a very small force or energy to many orders  of magnitude (typically 4 orders of magnitude) greater force and energy to perform tasks that they are not normally equipped to perform. Customers interested in this product please let us know the desired application or attire and we will quote you a price and delivery time line for the integrated system.
 

11-Custom Made Special Order of Polymeric Artificial Muscles 

 

Tell us what types of artificial muscle configurations or system you wish to   have (size, shape, function, voltage requirement, range of motion, range of forces, frequency requirement, etc.) and any desired systems integration and we will quote you a price and a time- line to deliver according to your specifications.  Customers with specific R&D requirements should contact ERI. Note that ERI has capabilities to meet your needs.    

 

ERI also performs limited product development & services on shape memory alloys (SMA) actuators and artificial muscles, as well.
