Cotton is one of the world’s largest crops and is harvested with large, heavy machines. Robotic harvesting could yield higher-quality cotton with less damage to plants and soil.

3D-printed designs are usually limited to fast-drying polymers, but a new method enables wild, soft robotic possibilities.

Kenny Shaw/CMUUse your hands for a moment. Grab that bottle on your desk and unscrew the cap. Or get a pencil or pen and write your name. You might already be using your hand to read this story on your phone—that works too. As you do, notice each movement that your hands and fingers make, and the tiny changes in pressure you apply as you go through the motions.Pay close enough attention and you’ll see that your hands are doing a lot more than you realized.
