Harvard scientists are trained to create soft robots everyone

Want to build a soft robot with your hands? Harvard University and Trinity College in Dublin ready to help you in this matter. Educational institutions have jointly released a set of tools for the production of flexible robots. The set includes all the essential "intelligent" tools for both beginners and advanced collectors robots.

On the website Softroboticstoolkit referenced by the publication CNET, you will find useful information on any details that you can use in their work. There are instructions, downloads, tutorial videos and sample programs to control robotic systems.

The website also provides the opportunity to exchange advice, models, technical knowledge and experience that allows designers from all over the world to cooperate with each other.

"We have seen the tremendous benefits students receive from dialogue with more experienced colleagues who can help them in the course of work. However, this approach is hard to scale. We have created an easily accessible set of tools that will allow students to gain experience," says co-author Donal Holland, a graduate student of Trinity College.

Colleague Hollande Gareth Bennett from the same institution believes that the "open design can have the same effect on the development of technologies like open source software in the past."

The Toolkit is demonstrated in the video below, available at the following link: softroboticstoolkit.com.



Recently, researchers from Harvard University using a 3D printer printed plastic building blocks with the connection on the principle of Lego, which can be used to create the above-mentioned soft robots.
