New electricity-free soft robot could aid precise surgery
By API User
Biomedical engineers have developed a new soft robotic system that works without electricity or motors, allowing for more precise surgeries at lower cost. The prototype system, designed by the UNSW Medical Robotics Lab led by Dr Thanh Nho Do, uses hydraulics to manoeuvre ‘artificial muscles’ that enable a flexible robotic arm to move in all directions. One potential … Continued
