A Touch of Nature: Smart Materials for Creating Elephant-Like Bionic Robot Arms

Artificial muscles and nerves made from the shape memory alloy nickel-titanium are making robot arms as supple and agile as their animal counterparts. But these artificial limbs also weigh less, will work tirelessly and can be precisely controlled. The bionic robot arms that are being developed by Professor Stefan Seelecke’s research team at Saarland University Read more about A Touch of Nature: Smart Materials for Creating Elephant-Like Bionic Robot Arms[…]
