Lego-like smart material lets robots change stiffness like living tissue

Robots are usually built from materials with fixed properties. Once a robot is assembled, its stiffness, flexibility and movement patterns are largely locked in. Engineers at Duke University are now challenging that limitation by developing a programmable, Lego-like material that can change its mechanical behavior in real time, much like living tissue. The new approach […] The post Lego-like smart material lets robots change stiffness like livin…
