Soft robotic structures fold themselves up in hot water

At ICRA on Tuesday, Cynthia Sung, who was previously with Daniela Rus’s group at MIT and is now a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, presented a new approach for making compliant, controllable robotic structures. Called additive self-folding, this origami-inspired technique involves creating 3D shapes made out of a long strip of self-folding 2D material, and all you have to do is add some hot water.

Peltier Modules
Do you need precise temperature control? Does your application need to be cooled below ambient temperature? If you answered yes to either of these questions, a peltier module may be the best solution for you. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton chats with Rex Hallock from CUI Devices about the limitations and unique benefits of peltier modules, how CUI Devices’ arcTEC™ structure can make a big difference when it comes to thermal stress and fatigue of peltier modules, and how you can get started using a peltier module in your next design.
