Xenobots are microscopic, programmable biological machines constructed entirely from living cells without any genetic modification. Measuring less than a millimeter, they lack traditional mechanical parts and are entirely organic, biodegradable, and derived primarily from embryonic stem cells of the African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis).

Korean researchers have developed 4D printed polymers using an industrial waste material that could transform soft robotics. The team from Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology created printable polymers that overcome a longstanding manufacturing challenge in flexible robotics. https://3dprintingindustry.com/news/krict-researchers-develop-4d-printed-polymers-redefining-soft-robotics-250163/ #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Research #SoftRobotics #KRICT

The soft fiber actuator is an ultrafine, electrically driven "soft yarn" made from flexible polymer capable of bending, contracting, and producing complex three-dimensional movements upon the application of an electrical voltage.
