SUMMARY:MEAM Seminar: “Robotics Goes Soft: Challenges and Achievements\, for New Robotics Scenarios”
DESCRIPTION:Largely inspired by the observation of the role of soft tissues in living organisms\, the use of soft materials for building robots is recognized as one of the current challenges for pushing the boundaries of robotics technologies and building robotic systems for service tasks in natural environments. The study of living organisms sheds light on principles that can be fruitfully adopted to develop additional robot abilities or to facilitate more efficient accomplishment of tasks\, because living organisms exploit soft tissues and compliant structures to move effectively in complex natural environments. \nWidely growing worldwide\, soft robotics has produced already interesting achievements in terms of technologies for actuation\, sensing\, control\, and many more. In addition to allowing more applications for robots\, soft robotics technologies are enabling robot abilities that were not possible before\, like morphing\, stiffening\, growing\, self-healing\, evolving. They open up new scenarios for robotics that brings towards more life-like robots\, effectively and efficiently adaptable to their environments and tasks.
