Enhancing Payload Capacity of Flexible Microbots

In the field of artificial intelligence and robotics, the development of flexible microbots is entering the fast lane. They can not only perform colonoscopies and minimally invasive surgeries but also delicately retouch classical paintings. This is all thanks to passive compliance technology, which allows robots to adjust their state according to task requirements, improving efficiency … Read more

Transforming Arduino Boards into Flexible Circuits for Soft Robotics

Recently, a research team from Yale University did something interesting: they designed the well-known rigid Arduino boards into flexible, stretchable circuits and integrated them into soft robots, achieving 300% high stretchability and providing advanced computing capabilities for soft robots. This groundbreaking work was successfully published in Science Robotics (IF=26.1). To achieve functionality in the real … Read more
