When you think of robots, most envision the rigid movements of the metallic, stiff machines popularized in TV and movies. But there is a very different and more realistic image that comes to mind for Hiroki Nakayama and the team at Bridgestone Soft Robotics Ventures. While exhibiting this exploratory technology at CES 2024, Nakayama-san joins THRIVE host Keith Cawley to explain how our rubber, material science, and friction expertise make Bridgestone a natural fit for this space. Listen along to explore more about how Bridgestone Soft Robotics Ventures views the dynamic realm of this innovation, its applications, and it’s potential impact on the perception of human-robot interaction.
