Soft Robotic Blocks: Introducing SoBL, a Fast-Build Modularized Design Block
This video presents a new, modularized design concept for soft robots based on a bottom-up approach by assembling units. This concept enables the structures and motions of soft robots to be rapidly prototyped and revised to create new designs that can accomplish different tasks.
The paper about our modularized concept is published in IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine (Volume: 23, Issue: 3, Sept. 2016).

MORPH: A new soft material microfabrication process
Published on Aug 6, 2018
"A new approach for fabricating soft materials at the millimeter scale paves the way to a new generation of flexible microrobots for medical and environmental tasks"What has the ability to move and show its colors, is made only of silicone rubber and manufactured at the millimeter scale? A soft robotic peacock spider. Researchers have combined three different manufacturing techniques to create a novel origami-inspired soft material microfabrication process that goes beyond what existing approaches can achieve at this small scale.
