Engineers discovered that combining pneumatic technology with electronic actuators can create an air-powered computer memory that can be used to control soft robots. Soft robots are made of stretchable materials with reversible and variable properties, whereas traditional robots are built from rigid materials. Soft robots also use pressurized air which allows them to flexibly move […]
