We have seen plenty of fascinating soft robots here in the past. Researchers from Wyss Institute and Harvard SEAS are taking them to the next level by 3D printing soft robots with embedded sensors that can feel touch, pressure, motion, and pressure. Multimaterial, embedded 3D printing tech was used to integrate conductive ionic ink into the body of the actuator.
The technology can one day lead to more advanced surgery robots and robotic pickers that can gently handle delicate items.
