Researchers unveiled a process for soft robots: Plant-inspired extrusion enabling synthetic material growth. It can help scientists and engineers make better soft robots.
An interdisciplinary team of University of Minnesota Twin Cities scientists and engineers has developed a first-of-its-kind, plant-inspired extrusion process that enables synthetic material growth. The new approach will allow researchers to build better soft robots that can navigate hard-to-reach places, complicated terrain, and potentially areas within the human body.
