Stretchable electronics for soft robots to allow embedded computation
Yale University’s Stephanie Woodman and her colleagues have developed a method to create stretchable versions of complex circuits.
“We present a generalized method to translate any complex two-layer circuit into a soft, stretchable form,” the researchers wrote in the study paper. “As demonstrations of the method’s utility, we embedded highly stretchable (>300% strain) Arduino Pro Minis into the bodies of multiple soft robots,” the study noted. Interestingly, the soft Arduinos demonstrated remarkable performance even under extreme conditions, successfully controlling robot movement, sensing human actions, and detecting contact with other machines.
