KAIST Unveils Venus Flytrap-Inspired Robot Hand Material
Original: KAIST develops a Venus flytrap-inspired ‘robot hand’ material that senses objects and grasps them under light
Researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have developed a new material inspired by the Venus flytrap that can sense objects and grasp them when exposed to light. The finding points to soft robotic hands that respond to stimuli without complex electronics, and it is drawing attention in robotics and materials science circles.
Why now: The announcement of a bio-inspired smart material that mimics the Venus flytrap's rapid grasping mechanism is a notable robotics and materials science breakthrough.
