@SoftRobotics_JN is looking for new cover image art. The art must feature a new image of a soft robot or soft robotic technology that is making a difference in the field. #softrobots #softrobotics Learn More: home.liebertpub.com/lpages/soft-ro…

@1Biotensegrity Our apologies for not providing the link! liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/so…

@SoftRobotics_JN may we have the link?? having trouble finding the article. thanks

A recent #OpenAccess article presents a tensegrity robot inspired by the volumetric expansion of Tetraodontidae. The robot employs pneumatically actuated rigid struts to expand its global structure and produce diverse gaits.

In a recent study, piezo-wormbots were developed by automatically triggering the mechanical metamaterial-inspired soft actuator to mimic the continuous crawling of inchworms without manipulation. liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/so…
