In past lithium-air designs, the lithium in a lithium metal anode moves through a liquid electrolyte to combine with oxygen during the discharge, yielding lithium peroxide (Li 2 O 2 ) or superoxide (LiO 2 ) at the cathode. The capability to run with air avoids the need for oxygen tanks to operate, a problem with earlier designs.

To accomplish tasks, they need both a well-designed body and a “brain,” or controller. But there are few ways to optimize a robot’s design at the same time. Unless the designer is an algorithm. Because it is 2D and the program is simply designed, it doesn’t need much computational power. The same is true for robots.
