E-mail Xinhua, September 30, 2021 Adjust font size: Chinese researchers from Tianjin University have developed a single-material soft robot with untethered motion ability, using 4D printing technology. The robot is able to roll stably and powerfully, and its speed and direction can be adjusted by changing its shape and size. The intelligent responsive behavior of the robot constitutes machine perception based on artificial intelligence. The research results have been published in the journal Matter by Cell Press. By combining the 3D printing process, intelligent materials, mathematical modeling, and machine-learning algorithms, global researchers are creating 3D objects that can react to...
