Soft Robotics: Embodied Senses and Perception
Feeling Their Way Through the World: Technology Sensing and Perception in Soft Robotics Soft robotics is revolutionizing how we interact with the world, offering robots that are adaptable, safe, and capable of navigating delicate environments. But to truly flourish, these pliable machines need more than just strength and flexibility. They need senses - the ability to perceive their surroundings and react intelligently. This is where technology sensing and perception comes into play. It's the key to unlocking a new level of autonomy and sophistication in soft robots, enabling them to understand their environment, interact with objects effectively, and learn from their experiences. So, how are we giving these robots a sense of touch? Tactile Sensors: Imagine a robot hand that...
