Self-healing materials for robotics made from ‘jelly’ and salt
materials can detect when they are damaged, take the necessary steps to temporarily heal themselves and then resume work
22-Feb-2022 -
Researchers have developed self-healing, biodegradable, 3D-printed materials that could be used in the development of realistic artificial hands and other soft robotics applications.
The low-cost jelly-like materials, developed by researchers at the University of Cambridge, can sense strain, ...
