MIT develops transparent hydrogel robots fast and strong enough to capture live fish

by Larra Morris

MIT engineers have developed transparent hydrogel robots that are fast and strong enough to capture live fish. The hydrogel is shaped using laser cutting and 3D printing and can be controlled by injecting water through hollow channels in the structure. The water injection method allows for faster and strong motion than similar designs that are powered by osmosis.
