The Quality of Life Technology Center demonstrated a soft, inflatable robot arm at the 2011 International Consumer Electronics Show.
Soft robots overcome critical safety barriers for human-robot interaction. A soft robot can assist with daily tasks such as bathing and grooming, feeding and dressing much more safely than a hard robot because the inflatable body reduces the risks of injury on unexpected or accidental impact.
QoLT's Soft Robot researchers include Siddharth Sanan, Christopher Atkeson, and Michael Ornstein.
