Researchers at Dartmouth College have unveiled SoftSnap modules, a modular design that simplifies the creation of untethered soft robots. These snap-together components enable rapid assembly and adaptability to various environments. Each module operates with a motor-driven string and flexible framework, allowing it to mimic natural shapes and movements. From starfish-like robots to 3D grippers, SoftSnap accelerates prototyping and opens new possibilities for soft robotic applications.
