1. Self-Healing Soft Robots

2. Color Changing Soft Robots

3. Origami-Inspired Soft Robots

4. Kirigami-Inspired Soft Robots.

Safety and comfort are the key elements behind the design of soft robots. Their ability to interact with humans and the surrounding environment more safely and effectively makes them favorite robotic forms among humans. Due to their flexibility, they are able to monitor and control position, manipulate and perform tasks that cannot be performed by rigid hard robots. These low-cost robots (as much as $200) are smarter, softer, and safer than conventional industrial robots.

Artificial Bone Engineered by Bioengineers may Help Osteoarthritis Patients

New bi-functional composite created by Bioengineers imitate he complex osteochondral structure of a joint, this in turn can help Patients with Osteoarthritis. The findings of this study are published in the journal of Kaunas University Of Technology.

Researchers from the Faculty of Chemical Technology, Kaunas University of Technology (KTU), Lithuania are developing an artificial bone,…

Bioengineers identify safer way to make rugby tackles

[ad_1] Video analysis, 3-D motion analysis lab trials and model-based image-matching techniques show that tackling the lower trunk of the ball carrier’s body — not the upper trunk or upper legs — is safer for reduction of head injuries. [ad_2] Source link

Bioengineers Aim to Break Big Ag’s Addiction to Fertilizers

Photo: Ginkgo Bioworks Mutant Microbes: Joyn Bio is trying to reprogram bacteria to give them a very particular superpower: the ability to capture nitrogen from the air and give that essential nutrient to the roots of cereal plants such as corn, wheat, and rice. Jump to Articles in this Section

Big Ag is addictedto nitrogen fertilizers. It’s a massive problem for the global climate,…

Bioengineers imagine the future of vaccines and immunotherapy — ScienceDaily

In the not-too-distant future, nanoparticles delivered to a cancer patient’s immune cells might teach the cells to destroy tumors. A flu vaccine might look and feel like applying a small, round bandage to your skin.

These are examples of how innovative biomaterials could enhance vaccines against HIV and other infectious diseases and immunotherapies for patients with cancer or dampen responses…
