3D Printing Soft Robotics with Embedded Sensors
One of the major challenges in the robotics industry is creating robots that are inspired by nature. This is no easy task, of course, and many of the major challenges associate with creating bio-inspired robots haven’t changed in years. Materials that couple sensing, actuation, computation, and communication must be developed before bio-inspired robots take off. And…
