HASEL actuators can reproduce the adaptability of an octopus arm, the speed of a hummingbird and the strength of an elephant

Engineers at CU Boulder have designed a new, shape-shifting display that can fit on a card table and allows users to draw 3D designs and more.

CU Boulder mechanical engineering student Ellen Rumley was part of a robotics club in high school, but she could never get over the clunkiness of rigid, metal machines. Now, she's designing soft robotic actuators that work like animal muscles. They're also completely biodegradable.
