Application of the stretchable scale battery in soft robots (IMAGE)
Caption
The flexible, stretchable battery technology developed by the research team of Dr. Bongkyun Jang and Dr. Seungmin Hyun at the KIMM Department of Nano-Mechanics is applied to a soft robot with moveable joints like a snake to observe its flexibility when moving. The battery can be attached to various types of robots that crawl or move in a serpentine fashion, morphing its shape accordingly depending on their movement while, at the same time, providing power to actuate untethered robots.
