Soft Robotics - "Soft robots"

Robotics is experiencing completely new impulses through the use of biologically inspired technologies. The focus is on soft, organic structures and the imitation of movement sequences from living nature instead of rigid materials and unyielding movements.
The aim is for the robots to interact intuitively and sensitively. This can be achieved through soft, organic structures on the one hand and highly intelligent components such as sensors or programmed algorithms on the other. Numerous scientific disciplines are therefore working hand in hand to research possible applications for soft robotics. In Soft Robotics, materials, ergonomics and biomechanics researchers as well as biomechatronics engineers work closely with drive and software developers.
