Soft robots take on hard tasks
Soft, robust miniature robots powered by fluid kinetic energy can traverse tricky terrains at impressive speeds, offering a valuable new tool for search and rescue operations.
T
iny robots can be just as useful as their larger cousins. Imagine smallscale robots, equipped for precision tasks, navigating confined spaces within the human body to inspect and treat tissues or zooming through challenging terrains for reconnaissance in search and rescue operations.
