How biodegradable robots can help build a sustainable future

IndustryTrends

The integration of robots into our daily lives poses risks of injuries and environmental harm due to non-biodegradable materials.

Soft robots made from biodegradable parts can address these concerns and reduce environmental destruction during disposal.

Researchers have developed a soft and biodegradable actuator using gelatine electrodes and a polylactic acid (PLA) bag containing soybean oil.

The actuator operates electrically, eliminating the need for large pumps and compressors, making it suitable for compact robots in tight spaces.

The biodegradable actuator shows promising performance and compatibility with sensors and batteries, paving the way for environmentally friendly robots.
