Harvard University has improved the presure capability of elastomeric valves, avoiding the choice between soft but weak valves, or capable but rigid valves, in soft robotics, it said. “Today’s rigid regulation systems considerably limit the adaptability and mobility of fluid-driven soft robots,” said Professor Robert Wood of Harvard’s school of engineering and applied sciences (SEAS). “We ...
