Japanese Researchers Create Soft Robotic Microfinger
KYOYO, Japan—Researchers in Japan have developed a soft robotic microfinger that enables interaction with insects through tactile sensing.
Humans have always been fascinated by scales different than theirs, from giant objects, such as stars, planets and galaxies, to the world of the tiny, such as insects, bacteria, viruses and other microscopic objects. While microscopes allow people to view the very small objects, it is still difficult to interact with them directly.
