Harvard Harnesses Multimaterial 3D Printing to Build Programmable Soft Robots

Predictable motion in soft robotics has traditionally depended on complex molds and multi-step fabrication processes, slowing design iteration and limiting customization. Researchers at Harvard University have now introduced a multimaterial 3D printing approach that embeds actuation directly into flexible structures during fabrication, allowing soft robotic devices to be produced with built-in, programmable movement.
