Somatosensory light-driven robots (SLiR) with an embodied sensory system are manufactured using soft thin film. The miniaturized robots exhibit untethered reflex-like stimulus-responsive motility and multi sensing capabilities. This work is reported by Xiao-Qiao Wang and Ho et al.
To meet the world’s rising energy demands, Associate Professor Ho Ghim Wei is leveraging solar technologies for a brighter and more sustainable future.
A facile and versatile strategy to directly print hydrogels into biomimetic soft robots has been reported by Yin Cheng and Ho et al. Biocompatible alginate rheological modifier of hydrogel allow straightforward manufacturing into arbitrary 3D topologies using direct-ink-write (DIW) 3D printing.
