Quiz: A Quick Look at Soft Robots
Soft robotics is the least developed segment of the robotics industry, but has the potential to impact a wide range of industries. See what you know about soft robots.
Advancements in robotics take place every day as the field grows, matures, and develops products over a wide range of industries. Soft robots are not there yet. Their development hinges on materials that can be folded, stretched, or otherwise formed into different lengths, widths and shapes. The potential of pliant, elastic robots is great and researchers are building myriad examples that may eventually find their way into medicine, manufacturing, aeronautics and other industries. Take this short quiz on soft robotic history and development.
