Journal ArticleDOI
An integrated design and fabrication strategy for entirely soft, autonomous robots
Michael Wehner,Michael Wehner,Ryan L. Truby,Ryan L. Truby,Daniel J. Fitzgerald,Daniel J. Fitzgerald,Bobak Mosadegh,Bobak Mosadegh,George M. Whitesides,George M. Whitesides,Jennifer A. Lewis,Jennifer A. Lewis,Robert J. Wood,Robert J. Wood +13 more
TL;DR: An untethered operation of a robot composed solely of soft materials that autonomously regulates fluid flow and, hence, catalytic decomposition of an on-board monopropellant fuel supply is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Embedded 3D Printing of Strain Sensors within Highly Stretchable Elastomers
Joseph T. Muth,Daniel M. Vogt,Ryan L. Truby,Yigit Menguc,David B. Kolesky,Robert J. Wood,Jennifer A. Lewis +6 more
TL;DR: A new method, embedded-3D printing (e-3DP), is reported for fabricating strain sensors within highly conformal and extensible elastomeric matrices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soft robotic glove for combined assistance and at-home rehabilitation
TL;DR: This paper presents a portable, assistive, soft robotic glove designed to augment hand rehabilitation for individuals with functional grasp pathologies that has the potential to increase user freedom and independence through its portable waist belt pack and open palm design.
Journal ArticleDOI
Science, technology and the future of small autonomous drones
Dario Floreano,Robert J. Wood +1 more
TL;DR: This work identifies scientific and technological advances that are expected to translate, within appropriate regulatory frameworks, into pervasive use of autonomous drones for civilian applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Controlled Flight of a Biologically Inspired, Insect-Scale Robot
TL;DR: An 80-milligram, insect-scale, flapping-wing robot modeled loosely on the morphology of flies is built and demonstrated tethered but unconstrained stable hovering and basic controlled flight maneuvers, which validates a sufficient suite of innovations for achieving artificial, insects-like flight.
