Soft Robots For Safe Human Interactions | Solutions Science with Dr. Daniel Bruder
Manage episode 378171883 series 3408283
The robots that most easily come to mind are production line robots, they will move where they are told to move, regardless of any obstructions on the way. This means that these rigid robots must be kept separate from humans over safety concerns. That is where soft robotics come in to play, completely safe robots that do not have the physical capabilities to cause accidental damage to humans.
The field of soft robotics is a thriving area of research, and much work is ongoing to improve the control and movement of these robots. The end goal is to be able to aid humans alongside humans in environments where it is beneficial to automate repetitive processes.
I spoke with Dr. Daniel Bruder about his work in the field, looking into modelling soft robots to improve their properties.
