  Living Things - and with Living Things

DESCRIPTION:Professor Adam A. Stokes
 \nHead of the Institute for Bioengineering and Personal Chair in
  Bioinspired Engineering
 \nSchool of Engineering
 \nThe University of Edinburgh
 \nINFO
 \n\nRobots have traditionally been rigid machines: powerful\, precise and
  highly structured\, but often poorly suited to working safely alongside
  people or within delicate natural environments. Soft robotics takes a
  different approach\, using flexible materials\, fluidic systems and
  bioinspired design to create machines that can bend\, stretch\, sense and
  adapt. This lecture will explore how ideas drawn from organisms such as
  octopuses and starfish are changing the way we build robots\, and how soft
  systems could support applications in healthcare\, manufacturing\,
  environmental monitoring and exploration. It will also consider the
  practical challenge of translating striking laboratory demonstrations into
  robust\, useful technologies.
