By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning DailyNews Daily News – New study results on robotics have bee n published. According to news reporting outof Boston University by NewsRx edit ors, research stated, “Soft robots typically involve manual assemblyof core har dware components like actuators, sensors, and controllers.”Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from Boston University: “Thi s increases fabricationtime and reduces consistency, especially in small-scale soft robots. We present a scalable monolithicfabrication method for millimeter- scale soft-rigid hybrid robots, simplifying the integration of core hardwarecom ponents. Actuation is provided by soft-foldable polytetrafluoroethylene film-bas ed actuators poweredby ionic fluid injection. The desired motion is encoded by integrating a mechanical controller, comprised ofrigid-flexible materials. The robot’s motion can be self-sensed using an ionic resistive sensor by detectinge lectrical resistance changes across its body. Our approach is demonstrated by fa bricating three distinctsoft-rigid hybrid robotic modules, each with unique deg rees of freedom: translational, bending, and rototranslationalmotions.”According to the news editors, the research concluded: “These modules connect to form a soft-rigidhybrid continuum robot with real-time shape-sensing capabilit ies. We showcase the robot’s capabilities byperforming object pick-and-place, n eedle steering and tissue puncturing, and optical fiber steering tasks.”
