Designing Flexible Robots: Key Principles for Adaptive Behavior

Designing robots that can navigate unpredictable environments—from the soft tissues of the human body to the cluttered rubble of a search-and-rescue site—requires a fundamental shift from traditional rigid engineering. Rigid robots excel in precision and speed but struggle with “compliance,” the ability to yield to external forces without breaking or causing damage. Adaptive behavior in […]
