Fast and forceful gel robots
Published on Feb 1, 2017
Engineers at MIT have fabricated transparent gel robots that can perform a number of fast, forceful tasks, including kicking a ball underwater, and grabbing and releasing a live fish.
"Transparent, gel-based robots can catch and release live fish (http://news.mit.edu/2017/transparent-gel-robots-catch-release-fish-0201)"
Made from hydrogel, robots may one day assist in surgical operations, evade underwater detection.
