“…For instance, copper, boasting a remarkable thermal conductivity of approximately 401 W/m•K, stands as a preferred material for heat sinks in robotic systems. Copper heat sinks swiftly conduct heat away from high-temperature components, averting overheating and mitigating thermal degradation risks [2].…”

Thermal management is pivotal in robotics engineering, ensuring optimal performance and reliability of robotic systems. This comprehensive review explores various heat dissipation mechanisms, cooling techniques, and thermal modeling approaches employed in robotics engineering. Key topics include conduction-based, convection-based, and radiation-based heat transfer mechanisms, alongside liquid cooling, air cooling, and phase-change cooling techniques. Analytical thermal models, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, and finite element analysis (FEA) modeling are discussed for their roles in predicting thermal behaviors and optimizing heat dissipation strategies. By synthesizing these advancements, this review provides valuable insights into enhancing thermal management efficiency and ensuring the longevity of robotic systems.

“…Moreover, non-switchable heat pipes for battery thermal management have been investigated in a significant number of experimental and numerical research publications during the past decade. The current status was recently summarized in a review article by Weragoda et al with over 240 references [22]. Besides conventional tubular heat pipes, niche heat pipe types such as pulsating heat pipes, loop heat pipes and mini/micro heat pipes have also been reviewed.…”

Battery thermal management systems (BTMSs) ensure that lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in electric vehicles (EVs) are operated in an optimal temperature range to achieve high performance and reduce risks. A conventional BTMS operates either as an active system that uses forced air, water or immersion cooling, or as a complete passive system without any temperature control. Passive systems function without any active energy supply and are therefore economically and environmentally advantageous. However, today’s passive BTMSs have limited cooling performance, which additionally cannot be controlled. To overcome this issue, an innovative BTMS approach based on heat pipes with an integrated thermal switch, developed by the Fraunhofer Cluster of Excellence Programmable Materials (CPM), is presented in this paper. The suggested BTMS consists of switchable heat pipes which couple a passive fin-based cold plate with the battery cells. In cold state, the battery is insulated. If the switching temperature is reached, the heat pipes start working and conduct the battery heat to the cold plate where it is dissipated. The environmental benefits of this novel BTMS approach were then analysed with a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). Here, a comparison is made between the suggested passive and an active BTMS. For the passive system, significantly lower environmental impacts were observed in nearly all impact categories assessed. It was identified as a technically promising and environmentally friendly approach for battery cooling in EVs of the compact class. Furthermore, the results show that passive BTMS in general are superior from an environmental point of view, due their energy self-sufficient nature.

“…On the one hand, and despite recent improvements, BEVs still exhibit low energy density in their batteries when compared with fossil fuels, leading to heavier vehicles than internal combustion engine (ICE) ones and jeopardizing the autonomy/range as well as the dynamic performance [ 5 , 6 , 7 ]. Additionally, the thermal management of battery systems is another key factor that directly influences BEV performance since operating temperatures out of the optimal range lead to a significant decrease in range/autonomy [ 8 , 9 ]. On the other hand, in hFCVs, H 2 storage requires extreme conditions such as very high pressure or very low temperatures, respectively, depending on whether it is stored in a gas or liquid state [ 3 , 10 ].…”

With the increasing demand for lighter, more environmentally friendly, and affordable solutions in the mobility sector, designers and engineers are actively promoting the use of innovative integral dissimilar structures. In this field, friction stir-based technologies offer unique advantages compared with conventional joining technologies, such as mechanical fastening and adhesive bonding, which recently demonstrated promising results. In this study, an aluminum alloy and a glass fiber-reinforced polymer were friction stir joined in an overlap configuration. To assess the main effects, interactions, and influence of processing parameters on the mechanical strength and processing temperature of the fabricated joints, a full factorial design study with three factors and two levels was carried out. The design of experiments resulted in statistical models with excellent fit to the experimental data, enabling a thorough understanding of the influence of rotational speed, travel speed, and tool tilt angle on dissimilar metal-to-polymer friction stir composite joints. The mechanical strength of the composite joints ranged from 1708.1 ± 45.5 N to 3414.2 ± 317.1, while the processing temperature was between 203.6 ± 10.7 °C and 251.5 ± 9.7.
