Research Project: Soft Robots

Buobe IA context · why it matters

Soft robots can bend and twist with high curvatures — They can navigate confined spaces more effectively.
They emulate biological motions through continuous deformation — This allows them to handle un-modeled objects and move on rough terrain. Fique de olho:
Soft robotics technology will likely expand into medical applications, such as minimally invasive surgeries.

Soft robots have a continuously deformable structure with muscle-like actuation that emulates biological systems and results in a relatively large number of degrees of freedom as compared to their hard-bodied counterparts.
