Soft Robots Powered by Viscous Fluids: Next-Gen Motion Control Explained

Описание: Soft robots are evolving faster than ever! 🚀 Researchers at Cornell University’s Collective Embodied Intelligence Lab, led by Kirstin Petersen, have developed a new fluid-driven actuator system that uses viscosity to create complex and adaptive motions.

Instead of struggling with uneven pressure, this breakthrough design cleverly harnesses fluid interactions to give soft robots more flexibility, agility, and control — opening doors for applications in manufacturing, underwater exploration, and robotics research.

The research, published in Advanced Intelligent Systems, demonstrates how this system allows robots to crouch, walk, and even change gaits — all powered by a single fluid input. This is more than just robotics — it’s a step into a new subfield of soft robotics.
