It’s how this new material design can heal at room temperature on it’s own; this opens up a major potential for future applications within prosthetics to recover from severe damage. @ARTICLE{9288989, author={S. {Terryn} and J. {Brancart} and E. {Roels} and G. {Van Assche} and B. {Vanderborght}}, journal={IEEE Robotics Automation Magazine}, title={Room Temperature Self-Healing in Soft

The potential application of soft robotics maneuvering into inaccessible spaces would benefit from the use of biocompatible materials. For example, if it is less economically beneficial to return a soft robot after a “mission” the team that deployed the robot might abandon the robot afterwards. Creating biocompatible soft robots means that these robots can be

This sensory sleeves interests me because the sensors are screenprinted directly into the fabric sleeve as opposed to attaching a sensor onto clothes, which has less a disruptive effect compared with wearing an additional sensor. @INPROCEEDINGS{7989649, author={M.

I picked this article because I like biomimicry. I think its interesting to learn from nature and try to make rigid technology more fluid. @INPROCEEDINGS{6677325, author={M. {Cianchetti}}, booktitle={2013 10th International Conference on Ubiquitous Robots and Ambient Intelligence (URAI)}, title={The octopus as paradigm for soft robotics}, year={2013}, volume={}, number={}, pages={515-516}, doi={10.1109/URAI.2013.6677325}}

I chose this article because I want to learn more about embedding circuits into soft actuators. BibLaTeX citation:
