Yi Zhu, Graduate Student Research Assistant for Civil and Environmental Engineering, tests a new generation of micro-robotics inside Evgueni Filipov's lab at the G.G. Brown Building on North Campus, Ann Arbor MI on June 17, 2020.
For a handful of years, traditional micro-fabrication methods have produced shape morphing, small-scale 3D systems with complex geometries and programmable mechanical properties. However, these available micro-origami systems usually have slow folding speeds, provide few active degrees-of-freedom, rely on environmental stimuli for actuation, and allow for either elastic or plastic folding but not both.
Zhu and a University of Michigan research team are introducing an integrated fabrication-design-actuation methodology of an electro-thermal micro-origami system addressing the challenges that are slowing down possible applications into the robotic and biomedical world.

Using a commercially available DJI Phantom 3 drone instrumented with standard optical cameras and a third-party infrared camera, Cassandra Champagne (left), Graduate Student Research Assistant in Civil and Environmental Engineering and Chenghang Liu, Civil Engineering Undergrad autonomously collect optical imagery, infrared imagery, and methane concentration data in a fraction of the time it takes for someone to manually walk around the landfill in Midland, MI. on October 16, 2018.
The drones can generate extremely accurate 3-D models of the landfill that can track increased biodegradation activity as well as monitor the settlement of the landfill over time.
Methane gas (CH4) is generated in landfills through the anaerobic (absence of oxygen) digestion of the buried waste and is estimated by the EPA to be 28-36 times worse than carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere because it is that much more efficient at trapping heat in the ozone.

Joseph Groele, NERS Graduate Student Research Assistant, sets up a plasma water jet set up inside NERS Professor John Foster's lab at the Cooley Building on North Campus in Ann Arbor, MI on February 6, 2020.
Low temperature plasma efficiently uses energetic electrons to drive a reactive mix of hydroxyl radical, ozone, UV as well as ultrasound shockwaves dosing the water in a reactive species that shatters the PFAS molecules. Foster’s set up with plasma exposes the contaminated water to high temperatures upward to several thousands of degrees from repetitive bursts of plasma over a short period of time completely disassociating any trace of PFAS in the water sample.

Elizabeth Callison (left), Graduate Student Research Assistant at Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering tests the drag characteristics of biofilm (the green slime that grows on the bottom of ship hulls) along with Mechanical Engineering Graduate Student Research Assistant Josh Parmet inside the Marine Hydrodynamics Laboratory at 1085 S. University Ave. in Ann Arbor, MI. on Thursday March 7, 2019.
Using a laser line scanner, Callison and Parmet can get the profile of the biofilm which later will be used to print a 3D rigid replica to test the differences between biofilm that can flutter and move as opposed to a rigid one.
With this information, Callison hopes to show what proportion of the drag of biofilm comes from its compliance (ability to move). This would be useful to be able to tell at what point it is necessary to clean a ship hull from biofilm so that it would still preform well, i.e., continue to reach its top speed, and less fuel consumption.
