Soft Robotics: Redefining Human-Machine Interactions

AI and Robotics, All Posts, Humanoid and Autonomous Robots, Robotics and Society, Robotics Applications in Specific Fields, Robotics Trends and Future /

The rigid, metallic world of classical robotics is steadily giving way to a new paradigm: soft robotics. These robots, crafted from compliant materials like silicones, rubbers, and textiles, are not just a gentler evolution; they fundamentally redefine the very nature of human-machine interaction. Gone are the potentially hazardous, stiff limbs; in their place emerge adaptable, […]
