Soft, inflatable robots grip and walk
Published on Oct 13, 2015
Soft robots can bend, walk and grab. And, unlike their rigid counterparts, some can get flattened and bounce back into shape. Now scientists report a new advance in the journal ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces: a soft robot whose elastic material changes color when it stretches. They say the development opens the door to robot camouflage, new ways to deliver medicines and other applications.
