Smart dielectric elastomers for self-healing soft robots

Tue, 27 Apr 2021 09:21:33 GMT

Robots that resemble organs are known as soft robots, and in order for them to function they must be made of a flexible material, however a material that can also heal itself would be a bonus if wear and tear was to occur. Researchers from WMG, University of Warwick have designed a self-healing polymers for such devices.
