Swiss fiber motor keeps soft robots squishy and pliable

Soft robots are designed to be soft and deformable, but installing a conventional rigid motor inside them often undermines that advantage. According to New Atlas, Swiss scientists have developed a motor in the form of a thin, flexible fiber, aiming to let the driving component itself bend along with the robot. The report places this achievement in the fields of robotics and engineering, and tags it with EPFL, soft robotics, and artificial muscles.
