C-STAR Webinar: Think Soft: From Robotics to Prosthetics & Rehab, How Soft Tech is Changing the Game
DESCRIPTION
Robotics has gone through a transformation in the last decade. A conceptual revolution started in the early 2000’s has caused a steep transition from traditional, heavy industrial robots to safe, light, nimble co-bots which can co-exist and co-operate with humans, entering in touch with them. To do so, robots have become lighter, smaller, softer and more intelligent.
The technological revolution of soft, intelligent machines today is spilling over from robotics to bionics. Not only are soft technologies safer, more effective and more adaptive, they can be above all more natural, as their motion and interaction patterns are dictated by similar principles as those moving our own human limbs. In the near future, users will be able to include soft bionic devices into their body schema, sending inputs and receiving feedback which match our inner model of interaction with the outside world.
