- Title
Squishy robots on the move.
- Abstract
The article discusses a wax and foam material developed by professor Anette Hosoi, former graduate student Nadia Cheng, and researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization, which may be used to build deformable surgical robots. Topics include the material's ability to transform between hard and soft phases, the development methods of the material, and the self-healing qualities of the material.
