What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the term Soft Robots ? How can a Soft Robot be built? What are the prerequisites for a robot to become flexible? Why is it important for a robot to be flexible? The field of robot development from soft materials is particularly important and aims at the creation of flexible muscles from soft polymers. Come to the amazing and super- exciting Robot Space Exhibition and answer to all of your questions with the assistance of an electronic console! Compare actuators made of both: soft and rigid materials. Come to the interactive exhibition “Robots in Space” and check out Soft Robots, used for educational purposes and designed by high school students!
