Researchers unveiled a process for soft robots: Plant-inspired extrusion enabling synthetic material growth. It can help scientists and engineers make better soft robots.
Researchers have developed flexible and elastic light-emitting devices through a unique 3D-printing technique.
Researchers from Rice University have pioneered a new field of research, necrobotics, using a dead spider as a mechanical gripper.
Soft robotics is a promising new field offering robot systems that mimic the versatility and complexity of movement and propulsion seen in natural organisms. Such systems require complex actuation including length expansion/contraction, bending and torsion. To date, such actuators have been configured individually. Here, it is shown that composite fibers formed from a shape memory polymer and a thermo-sensitive hydrogel could be configured into any one of the tensile, torsional and flexural actuators. Furthermore, the programmed mode of actuation could be thermally erased and the same fiber re...
