LONDON: A team of engineers at Harvard University’s John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have designed a 3D-printed autonomous robot with a body which transitions from soft to rigid, which they achieved through the employment of a gradient of material properties. The study’s senior author Robert J. Wood, Harvard’s Professor of Engineering and Applied Sciences, was quoted by RT as having said that the new soft bot demonstrates “a method to integrate the rigid components with the body of the soft robot through a gradient of material properties,” which in turn eliminates the “abrupt, hard-to-soft transition that is often a failure point” when it comes to robotic design.
