Original Abstract Submitted
A computer-implemented method for augmentation and printing of a three-dimensional (3D) object is provided. The computer-implemented method includes analyzing a model of the 3D object, information of sensors for deployment on the 3D object and environmental parameters of a location where the 3D object is deployable and determining, from results of the analyzing, a surface contour of the 3D object, power requirements of the sensors and power levels that can be generated at the location by algae-based power generation. The computer-implemented method further includes augmenting the model with microfluidic circuitry models for supporting the algae-based power generation on the surface contour to meet the power requirements to an extent possible given the power levels, printing the 3D object and microfluidic circuitry according to the model and the microfluidic circuitry models and supplying the microfluidic circuitry with algae for the algae-based power generation.
