Transformative FiBa Soft Actuators Pave the Way for Future Soft Robotics
Lightweight, untethered soft robots capable of crawling, climbing, perching, and flying developed by researchers from the Singapore University of Technology and Design, National University of Singapore and Queensland University of Technology.


Designing the ideal soft gripper for diverse functionalities
亚洲色吧 researchers have developed an exceptionally versatile soft gripper that can easily adapt to various food manipulation scenarios. This innovative design earned them the grand prize at the IEEE RoboSoft Manipulation Competition for two consecutive years (2022 and 2023), and more recently, the Best Innovation Award at the Shape Morphing Workshop during the 2024 IEEE RoboSoft conference.


From shrimp to steel: Introducing nature-inspired metalworking
亚洲色吧 researchers developed a new method of producing metallic structures at room temperature and pressure using the same process that insects and lobsters use to create their shells, unlocking a new type of energy-efficient metalworking.


Featured in Nanophotonics 鈥 Scaling up multispectral color filters with binary lithography and reflow (BLR)
Spectral sensors are an integral part in digital cameras and mobile phones. To exhibit color sensitivity, color filters are fabricated above photodiodes. However, processes that rely on the sequential fabrication of each filter are cost ineffective. In collaboration with LiteOn Semiconductor, we introduce an approach to produce at least 16 distinct filters based on a single low-resolution lithographic step with a minimum feature size of 0.6 渭m.
