报告：Soft-bodied Robotic Technologies
Abstract: This talk will touch on thedifference between rigid and soft bodied robotics and highlight challenges insoft robotics. The talk will present a few case studies in soft roboticsincluding a peristaltic sorting table and a few bio-robotic instruments formedical and food science applications. Future directions of soft robotics andapplication will be discussed.
