In recent science periodicals I have read of several different methods for making different material rigid and then pliable. I think anyone of them would be more practical than a wax impregnated material. This system would obviously have to be housed in a temperature controlled shell, so ambient temperatures didn't affect it, not to mention the problem of load bearing capability.
LMAO! The elephant in the room! You said it, everyone was thinking it. It's not a 'good' angle for the camera. but the tech is also 'not interesting'. What happens when it get's a little warm. It just collapses on the floor? :) Also, wax is used in this way inside thermostats for most vehicles... eventually, it gets sick and tired of melting and cooling and gums up.
Towards the end: "This could be useful in situations where a robot would need to squeeze into a tight space in a person's body" Uhhh, have a squishy robot spider crawl into my anus? I think I'll just accept my cancer.
So it's temperature dependent? How is it supposed to work in climates other than room temperature? Too cold and it won't flex. Too hot and it'll collapse.
Great work guys. Lots of applications on the horizon for this type of system. What is the cycle time? Or rephrased, is this a one actuation/minute system or 1/second?
This is a fail , they would need to be deployed in controlled environments and to that end in order to reach such temperature fluctuations it would only serve as an outer skin,
Well considering their is roughly 7 billion people on earth and 4 billion of them are Asian it's simply no surprise to see them everywhere. No master race, no 'only Asians are smart' etc etc.
CUT DOWN TREE (2) Matthew 3:10 I had to cut down 3 banana trees today. Remember when I told you that after a banana tree bears fruit it will not bear again? So banana trees only get one chance to be fruitful. These 3 banana trees hadn’t borne fruit in three years! Got me thinking of those of us who think that remaining neutral makes us immune from punishment. None of us will be ignorant of JESUS, and no, I am not incriminating you by telling you :). Be fruitful.

0:14 I CAN SEE INSIDE HER HEAD THROUGH THOSE NOSTRILS
This is great. Once I heard that science is "what is" and engineering is "what could be". I vividly see that they're creating something new.
GOD DAMN HER NOSTRILS ARE HUGE!!!!
Lolololo I was thinking the same thing.
OMG that's what I was thing the whole video

I wanted to hide from her.... WHY ... should of worn a mask, or fake mustache, or you know.... Kept your fucking face out of the image :P
youtube comment section never fails to disappoint

robotic limbs arms legs even joints and fingers with this is gonna be amazing
How would you keep external heat out? so that your robot doesn't deform when you don't want it to.
The description starting from 0:30 plus her hand motion got me in the wrong mindset.
Robots are not fat, they are made as small and slim as possible. Y compare to a mouse who squishes through a hole in a wall.
Soft robots? Of course only the women would invent that.

How sensitive it that material to temperature? I don't expect it to be useless on a really hot/ cold day but would the performance drop?
All I can think about while watching this video : Noooooostriiiiilllll
There goes MIT again... Making the world a better place.
This could be used for back problems someday.
So wonderful and heart warming to see women in science! Keep up, boys!
Soft Robotics for many applications.
So did you get the material from a big space bounty hunter that transforms into a lambo?
squeeze through small parts of the body... heheheh
So the robot gets hard whenever it's cold. I usually have some difficulty with that myself. Very advanced.
this idea hasn't gripped me
0:30 - 0:50 -- THAT's what she said!!! LMAO. She keeps a straight face too. "selectively change the stiffness" (1:30-1:45) :v
Those nostrils..
She must get this a lot though, scary to imagine.
the military applications are considerable.
Ultimate flexibility - octopus.
you better create (faster) a device like one that Doctor Octopus has!
Rule 32 this will be used so that didoes can get hard ons on demand
I would like a maid robot that is very human like in appearance and can do everything a human can do, including sex HAHA.
This is awesome!
This is why you should not pick your nose
This is a fail , they would need to be deployed in controlled environments and to that end in order to reach such temperature fluctuations it would only serve as an outer skin,
This is so cool.
NICE, they day will come
Great thinking n innovative.......
The Cha Cha Cha Allstars - Cha Cha Cha #312
I got yer tunable stiffness right here!!
Sorry couldn't resist.
robot: fall flat
Wow! Synthetic Muscle!!
The intetion is good... But at some point some idiot will make one of those with a machine gun... History of mankind.
Awesome!!
Squishy Robots .... hmmm remind anyone of Aatrox's new Mecha skin?
i think this robots will be very useful for them in the kitchen ...
dat noseholes
Skynet approves
nostrils...
Those nostrils tho.....
NOstrils... what happens when you pick you pick your nose too much?
thissss 0:14
Très intéressant.
Par contre en voyant Annette la première chose qui me saute aux yeux, c'est ces narines :D
Mais on est pas là pour ça :)
nostrils
Large nostrils.
I am sorry But that Nose almost made me puke out my cereal :/
0:14 please bend your head a little bit...i can see inside your nose ...
Dem nostrils
Cool
terminator t1000 coming soon :))))
bonerific.
Is EVERYONE at MIT Asian? is it a perquisite or something?
No, Asians are just the Master Race.
Well considering their is roughly 7 billion people on earth and 4 billion of them are Asian it's simply no surprise to see them everywhere. No master race, no 'only Asians are smart' etc etc.
What is that horrible, repetitive background noise? It's incredibly distracting!
Science BITCH !
ju h
cool, works as a female Viagra?
GOD demonstrated HIS love by sending His Son Jesus Christ, who died and rose from the dead to GIVE us eternal life.
