World's First Mini Soft Robot Operates in Extreme Cold
Scientists have created a groundbreaking miniature soft robot that can function autonomously in extreme cold. The robot, developed by a collaborative effort of universities, can operate at temperatures as low as -50°C (-58°F), making it ideal for harsh environments.
This innovative robot is equipped with remarkable features. It enables low-voltage actuation, allowing it to operate efficiently even in power-limiting conditions. Its strong electro-adhesion enables it to grip and manipulate objects with ease, while its controllable self-heating helps it maintain functionality in freezing temperatures.
Currently, the robot is already in use in aircraft engine blade inspection and cold-region resource exploration. Its ability to navigate narrow spaces and melt ice layers makes it an invaluable tool in these challenging tasks. The robot operates at 72.5 volts, providing enough power for its various functions without compromising its size or maneuverability.
The world's first miniature soft robot capable of autonomous operation in extreme cold is a significant achievement. Developed by a joint effort of universities, this robot has the potential to revolutionize exploration in harsh environments. Its use in polar expeditions and deep-space exploration is expected to provide solutions for extreme conditions, paving the way for further advancements in robotics.
