Robots immediately bring up connotations of hard metal, whirling motors and precise movements. The rapidly developing field of 'soft robotics' is bending that notion by combining pneumatics, 3D printing, silicone rubber and the locomotion of jellyfish and octopi. Air or liquid is forced into specially designed rubber forms, following particular... read more →
