MIT researchers have developed an algorithm to help engineers design soft robots that collect useful information about their surroundings, reports Tech Xplore. Creating soft robots that complete real-world tasks has been a long-running challenge. Rigid robots’ limited number of joints and limbs makes for manageable calculations by the algorithms that control mapping and motion planning.
