Researchers Have Developed Soft, Self-Healing Skin For Robots

[Petar + 76]

To prove the concept, researchers at the Free University of Brussels (VUB) in Belgium created a gripper, a robot hand and an artificial muscle, all with the ability to self-heal, out of rubbery polymers that look a bit like jelly. When ripped or cut they can knit back together completely. All you need to do is apply a little heat. Roboticists have long aimed to use soft flexible materials, but these have a propensity to break making them unfit for purpose. A new technique can create soft robots that heal themselves when things go wrong.

What would the world look like if the robots got authority?

With all the tech they show us, it really makes you wonder what they're not showing us !?
