The BiCeps project, funded by the European Innovation Council (EIC) (Project No. 101186758) aims to engineer and fabricate bioinspired actuators that replicate the strength, precision, speed and compliance of biological systems by using advanced additive manufacturing technologies.
Objective
Actuator
Produce robust, enduring, and reliable actuators suitable for various technical applications
Multi-Material
Combination of strong materials by multi material printing to create actuators
Muscle
Complex mechanical actuators that contract like natural muscle when triggered
This technology could replace traditional motors and engines in many industries, offering greater flexibility and efficiency
