Soft robots, which consist of soft, flexible and deformable materials, have gotten into limelight in real-world application because they can easily change shape and allow conformable physical contact with various objects. However, the materials used for soft robots are vulnerable to external stimuli such as cut, overload and perforation, which restricts application in various environments. In this presentation, I present a new class of self-healing soft robot which can simultaneously sense various external stimuli including strain and temperature. Since our soft robot is solely based on self-healing polymers and electronic materials, it can autonomously heal mechanical and electrical functions even though it is damaged by sharp objects. I will discuss more details for the design of self-healing materials and their integrations into soft robotic system in my presentation. |
