A soft robotic system inspired by plant growth can autonomously dress individuals and perform medical intubation
这机器人从嘴里钻进人体，居然是来救命的
Researchers from KAIST and Stanford University have developed a soft robotic system that can autonomously dress individuals by using pneumatic actuators to mimic plant growth. The system can also perform medical intubation with high success rates and reduced training requirements, offering potential applications in emergency care and assistive technologies.
This research introduces a soft robotic system inspired by plant growth, capable of autonomously dressing individuals and performing medical intubation. The system uses pneumatic actuators to enable flexible, frictionless movement through complex environments, offering potential applications in emergency care and assistive technologies.
