A special robot arm that can be used for medical procedures is made from natural materials like cotton and gelatin. This arm can be controlled by a computer and is very flexible. It is easy to use in small spaces or near people because it is soft and safe.
Traditional robot arms are hard and rigid, but this new soft robot arm is made to be gentle when it interacts with things. The materials it is made from can break down naturally when it’s not needed anymore.
Scientists are working on ways to make these soft robots useful in many different areas. They can be used in industries that need to reach tight spaces or in surgeries where they can be left inside the body without any harm. Soft robotics is a new and exciting field that has lots of potential!
