How Soft Robotics help in human spaceflight at NASA
‘Doing the robot’ on the dancefloor would look more like ‘doing the worm’ if the dance move was inspired by soft robots! Soft robotics is an exciting sub-category of robotics that mimics the mechanics of nature – utilizing soft materials moved by pressure systems. Soft robotics engineer Jim Neilan and mechanical engineering intern Anthony Dempsey explain the benefits of soft robotics in human spaceflight and some of the skills that make for a good soft robotics engineer.
NASA stands for National Aeronautics and Space Administration. NASA was started on October 1, 1958, as a part of the United States government. NASA is in charge of U.S. science and technology that has to do with airplanes or space.
