Researchers have developed a self-healing robotic gripper for use in soft #robotics that is adaptable, #recyclable and resilient to damage, thanks to heat-assisted autonomous healing: eng.cam.ac.uk/news/self-healing-robotic-gripper-could-be-future-sustainable-soft-robotics
A pressure sensor acts as the damage detection early warning system. Meanwhile, #autonomous integrated heating achieves rapid healing in approximately nine minutes at the desired temperature of 70°C.
The researchers found the self-healing universal gripper to be capable of grasping a range of objects reliably in a pick-and-place task including pliers, marker pens, rolls of tape and screwdrivers.
