Biodegradable Humanoid Linkages
Named inventor · Indian patent application 202641101967
Lightweight humanoid legs made from aluminium extrusion links joined by 3D-printed brackets. The brackets are printed from PLA reinforced with nanoclay, a filament made on a twin-screw extruder. The aim is a better strength-to-weight ratio and stiffer joints from a biodegradable material, with modular parts that are simple to replace. I'm one of the eight named inventors.
