Self-Healing Robot Skin Mimics the Human Body

Self-healing robot skin mimics the human body

A University of Nebraska–Lincoln engineering team, led by Eric Markvicka and graduate students Ethan Krings and Patrick McManigal, presented self-healing technology for soft robotics and wearable systems at the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation. Award-winning research in biomimicry Their paper outlined a systems-level approach for soft robotics to identify damage, locate it, and autonomously initiate self-repair. The paper…

Soft Robotics that Can ID, Self-Repair Damage

Husker engineers set forth a systems-level approach for a soft robotics technology that can identify damage from a puncture or extreme pressure, pinpoint its location and autonomously initiate self-repair.
