Rise of the bio-inspired soft robots
From the very beginnings of human advancement, people have taken countless cues from nature to invent and solve problems. The Egyptians are thought to have modeled the pyramid’s shape on the sun’s rays; Leonardo da Vinci studied birds and bats to create the first designs for his flying machine; and umbrellas originally mimicked the natural curvature of leaves and palms. Inspired by...
