Smart Foam Material Support For Hand Robot Self Repair Capabilities

Recently, Singapore researchers have developed a smart foam material that allows robots to feel nearby objects and repair themselves when damaged, like human skin. In AIFOAM, allowing it to feel objects near by detecting their electric fields and also recovering itself if it is cut off, displayed at the National University of Science and Technology Laboratory Singapore in Singapore. (Photo: Reuters) Artificial foam inside, or afioam, is a highly elastic polymer that is made by mixing fluoropolymer with a compound that reduces surface tension. This allows easy foam material Merge into a piece of cutting, according to the researchers at the National University of Singapore. Benjamin Tee research team explains: "There are many applications for such a material, especially in robots and the Fake device, where robots need to be much smarter when working around people

. "A robot hand with artificial smart foam Aifoam inside, allowing it to feel objects near by detection Their electric fields and also recover themselves if it is cut. (Photo: Reuters) To reproduce human tactile feeling, the researchers have passed into small metal particles and adding small electrodes below the surface of foam.When with pressure, the Metal seeds pulled close in polymer matrix, changing their electrical properties
Tee said these changes can be detected with the electrodes connected to the computer, then the robot knows what to do. "When I moved my finger to near the sensor, you can Seeing the sensor is measuring the changes of my electric field and responding to my touch operation, "he said. This feature allows the robot hand not only to detect the amount but also the direction of the force , capable of making smart and interactive robots more.Tee said Aifoam is the first type of self-recovery characteristics and pressure sensor and close distance. After more than two years of developing it, he and his team hopes the material can be put into actual use within five years. "It can also allow users to suppose users to use more intuitively Their robot arms when grabbing objects. "(According to Reuters)
