3-D-Printed Robots with Shock-Absorbing Skins
By “programming” customized soft materials, CSAIL team can 3-D print safer, nimbler, more durable robots. Anyone who’s watched drone videos or an episode of “BattleBots” knows that robots can break — and often it’s because they don’t have the proper padding to protect themselves. But this week researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence
