These Soft Robots Will Respond to the World Around Them

Researchers at Harvard University have developed a way to embed sensors into soft robotics. With these sensors, the robots will be able to sense (and respond) to what is going on in the world around them.

Inspired by our bodies’ sensory capabilities, researchers at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering and the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have developed a platform for creating soft robots with embedded sensors that can sense movement, pressure, touch, and even temperature.
