Built for crawling, gripping, and morphing mid-task, this flexible robot sheet could transform soft robotics, and emergency response tech.
In a major leap for adaptive robotics, researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology have developed a programmable robotic sheet that can change shape, move, and grasp objects, all without mechanical hinges or external reconstruction.The innovation could pave the way for next-generation robots that physically adapt to their environment in real time.
The sheet then executes these commands autonomously, using real-time temperature feedback to maintain precision.A 40 cm² prototype embedded with 308 resistor units demonstrated the technology’s potential. The researchers programmed it to walk, crawl, and even grip objects like petri dishes and wooden sticks. It achieved folding angles between -87° and 109° and functioned across a wide temperature range of 30°C to 170°C.
