'''DO NOT EDIT THIS PAGE!'''
 
 
This is a generic template for a project page. Project pages describe the projects going on at the AIRLab and are listed in the [[Projects]] page. Feel free to copy (but ''not'' to cut or modify) the contents of its 'edit' tab and re-use them as a basis for your own project's page. The instructions to do that are given at [[Projects#HOWTO add a new project to the AIRWiki]].
 
 
Of course this is only intended as a hint: ''your'' page must contain also all the details about your work. In particulat you need to write down in detail if your work can cause any risk to you or to others.
 
 
Finally, keep in mind that '''YOU have the responsibility to guarantee that your work complies to the [http://airlab.elet.polimi.it/index.php/airlab/content/download/461/4110/file/documento_valutazione_rischi_AIRLab.pdf Safety norms] and the [http://airlab.elet.polimi.it/index.php/airlab/content/download/613/5300/file/Regolamento_AIRLab.pdf Rules] of the AIRLab. Despite the joking tone of what follows, these are matters that you must consider very seriously'''.
 
 
If you have any doubt about the safety of a tool, a procedure or anything else in the AIRLab, stop ''now'' and talk with the Teacher who is in charge of your project.

This project is aimed at designing and constructing a big, powerful and indestructible autonomous robot. It will be able to fight, defeat and ultimately wipe out humanity. After that, the robot will proceed to populate the Earth with a new breed of mechanical beings. Actually, the development of the self-replicating system will be performed by a future project, to be set up after (?) the success of this one.

Part 1: project profile

Project name

ZOIDBERG - An autonomous bio-inspired robotic fish

Project short description

ZOIDBERG is a project about an autonomous bio-inspired RoboFish. The project's aim is to realize a bio-inspired fish actuated by a particular electroactive polymer (EAP) , ICPF (Ionic Conducting Polymer Film). The robot will be able to swim in autonomous way in response to different behaviours.

Laboratory work and risk analysis

Laboratory work for this project will be mainly performed at AIRLab/Lambrate. It will include significant amounts of mechanical work as well as of electrical and electronic activity. Potentially risky activities are the following:

  • Use of mechanical tools. Standard safety measures described in Safety norms will be followed.
  • Use of soldering iron. Standard safety measures described in Safety norms will be followed.
  • Use of high-voltage circuits. Special gloves and a current limiter will be used.
  • Robot testing. Standard safety measures described in Safety norms will be followed.

Part 2: project description

The project is composed by:

  • state of the art;
  • preliminary studies and sketches;
  • design notes and guidelines;
  • description and results of experiments;
  • photos and videos (they must have been uploaded with Special:Upload before you can insert them into this page);
  • useful internet links: [Dr. Zoidberg | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Zoidberg]
