inserting magnets into the plastic rotor and snapping it into place. The end goal is to make robot actuators that are part of the circuit board itself.

The yellow gearbox is mounted directly to the main circuit board making it into the physical spine, along with its copper traces serving as the spinal cord of the robot. While less amenable to ...

This method allows for the integration of circuit boards and other such things into soft robots without sacrificing their flexibility and durability. “We present a generalized method to ...
