Soft Robotics Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab studies soft robotics, building robots that are soft.
AboutAbout the lab
Building robots that are soft in body, mind, and impression.
The Soft Robotics Lab overturns the conventional assumption that robots are "hard" and works on soft robotics, creating "soft" robots.
Soft robotics is a field that deals with robotic systems that actively exploit the mechanical, electrical, and chemical properties unique to flexible materials.
From three perspectives, "body," "intelligence," and "tactile sensation," the lab pursues the essence of robotic softness, aiming to develop technologies and build theory for novel robots.
Key terms
- Soft robotics
- A field that deals with robotic systems that actively use the mechanical, electrical, and chemical properties of flexible materials
- Snap motor
- A mechanism for generating explosive power, developed in the lab. It is small and lightweight, and can rapidly and repeatedly produce enough force to make itself jump
ResearchResearch themes
The lab overturns the assumption that robots are "hard" and aims to create "soft" robots that achieve what was previously impossible. From three perspectives, "body," "intelligence," and "tactile sensation," it pursues the essence of robotic softness.
