Knitting a robot? Who knew! You can learn more in this new paper from RUA participant @avanessasanchez.
Want to learn how to knit soft robots and program their motion through fabric patterning? Check out our paper published this week in Advanced Functional Materials!

Using 3D knitting 🧶, scientists have developed soft actuators for extension, contraction, and bending.
These motions are useful in applications such as grippers, lifters, and inspection robots like this one 👇

Thanks @StanfordEng for the highlight!
Alongside fellow researchers at @SLAClab, @RachYellow, PhD candidate in @StanfordMSE, has developed a non-flammable electrolyte for lithium-ion batteries. The secret? More salt.
