Soft Robotics Designer
Design Robots That Bend, Stretch & Grip Like Nature! π¦
Create soft robots inspired by MIT CSAIL research. Unlike rigid metal robots, soft robots are made from flexible silicone - they can squeeze through gaps, handle eggs without breaking them, and work safely alongside humans.
π€ What Is a Soft Robot?
Think of an octopus - no bones, yet incredibly capable! Soft robots are like that: made from squishy silicone instead of rigid metal. They can squeeze through tight spaces, handle delicate eggs without cracking them, and give you a gentle hug without hurting you!
Why does this matter?
Soft robots are transforming these fields:
π₯
Medical Surgery
Soft tools that won't damage delicate tissue
π
Food Handling
