Wearable assistive robotics with integrated sensing

MIT CSAIL has developed a new way to rapidly design and fabricate soft pneumatic actuators with integrated sensing. Such actuators can be used as the backbone in a variety of applications such as assistive wearables, robotics, and rehabilitative technologies.

Thank you for sharing, it looks like a banana.

I feel like it was an active design decision to make it yellow to look like a banana. Good choice.

[@KOTYAR1]

Yeah, science! New methods of motion are always welcome!
Good luck with your project; awesome software for prototyping too. Pneumatics is the future.

Right ,Soft Robotics is diffferent RigidBody ,very nice

우~와우 전기적 신호에 대한 저항성이 유기적이고 방향성에 치우침이 있고 평면적인 물질을 섬유화하고 각각의 위치적 저항성에 대한 규일한 데이터를 바탕으로 셋팅이 가능하고 나아가서 2가지 다른 반대 매질에 복합 응용성으로 빠른 반응성과 근육을 대처할 만큼의 효용성이 있고 ! 와우~~~~ 저항을 조절한다! 그 저항의 범위에 대한 단위면적당 정확한 저항값을 발산하고 조절할수 있다.! 우와 재료역학에 대 발전입니다. 신축성은 ^0^

Bannana fingers!
In all seriousness, this is really a great demonstration and helps show that we can look into more uses for the tech we have, such as knitting. If only the research was as glamorous.

When will Baymax become reality? Pneubotics/soft robotics will likely be used in care and entertainment robots.

Bananas!

[@Rajeev_kumar991]

This research will help in more future projects on pneumatics

Waiting for the "Banana for scale" comments :p Good work, folks!

[@cosmic_candy_art]

Banana for scale.

[@NOOTSMAZDAS]

Muscular banana type shit

[@stanleymike4044]

what do you think about doing one of these to compress the heart? could be very useful as a bridge to transplant a device like this

Ich habe ein Foto von vor 4 Jahren. Würde es euch so gern zeigen
