Holy cow. We’ve seen lots of soft robotics before, but this is some really cool stuff! You see, [Mike] is actually planning on building an inexpensive prosthetic robot hand using this technology.

As a liquid mixture, they can be poured into intricate molds and thus used for casting ... which could open up the soft robotics design space for new or improved applications.

A new type of soft robot can crawl like a worm, climb cables, and suddenly snap into a completely different shape to move in a new direction—all controlled by a single air input. This ...

Soft lithography is a family of non-photolithographic techniques used for fabricating micro- and nanostructures using elastomeric stamps, molds, and conformable photomasks. Unlike conventional ...
