Bioinspired AM Boosts Robotic Limb Stiffness And Sensing
A new paper in Bioinspiration & Biomimetics describes a bioinspired, additive approach for robotic limbs that increases structural stiffness while improving built-in strain sensing, hinting at lighter, smarter actuators and manipulators with fewer add-ons and less wiring.
