Have you heard about TU's research on soft robots?💡Soft robots can conform to features in an unknown environment and then change shape to perform tasks, such as entwining objects or squeezing into small gaps. This could be useful in search and rescue, disaster relief, and manufacturing. 🌀At TU, mechanical engineers like Peter Bui create fabric-reinforced inflatable soft robots that make better predictions. Researchers are developing methods to determine where a soft robot is in space and represent this in a computer; move the soft robot more dexterously in space using only one inflatable chamber; and control the soft robot to successfully perform tasks. #utulsa #tulsa #university #engineering #mechanical #robot #robotics #highereducation #college #research
