Toward More Autonomous Soft Robots: Development and Characterization of a 3D‐Printed Pneumatic Contact Sensor for a Six‐Legged Soft Robotic Walker
Soft Robotics This six-legged soft robot is fully 3D-printed and electronics-free. Its sensory system uses pneumatic logic gates to autonomously react to obstacles and change direction. A low-cost, adaptable design for autonomous soft robots in dynamic environments. More details can be found in the Research Article by Falk Tauber and co-workers (DOI: aisy.202500430).
