- 1Light-controlled robot material mimics Venus flytrap grip▼Venus flytrap-inspired 'robot hand' material senses objects and grasps them under light
Researchers have developed a Venus flytrap-inspired material that works like a robotic hand: it senses nearby objects and automatically grasps them when stimulated by light. The soft, light-responsive design could open new possibilities in soft robotics and automated handling, and the unusual bio-inspired approach is drawing attention across science and technology news.
