New Episode Alert! This week, I chatted to Dr. Isabella Fiorello from University of Freiburg about plant-inspired robots made from …
my group is working on these materials that are not only bio inspired but also bioh hybrid in the sense that this material not only take inspiration from living organism especially plants in my case but also embed parts of the plant itself in the materials plants are really important for the biomechanical properties because they they can’t move like animals so they can’t escape the environment in which they grow so they have to adapt to the environment and to do it they develop different biomechanical and morphological properties that can be really interesting for different application in robotics
