This group operates within the Bristol Robotics Laboratory (BRL), which is a platform for collaboration created between the Universities of Bristol and of the West of England. The team's primary research interest is in the field of autonomous robots, and how MFCs can be employed as the live onboard power supply to allow an artificial agent to exhibit energetic autonomy and at the same time utilise waste from the environment. The integration of these two technologies (MFC and robotics) has raised a number of important points that affect both technologies and is furthermore investigating the impact that one technology has on the other. To this day the group has managed to develop two such exemplar robots that operate solely on MFC power: EcoBot-I and EcoBot-II. The research team specialises in mixed microbial communities and in the design of ultra-low power electronic modules.
