Cactus-inspired design principles for soft robotics based on 3D printed hydrogel-elastomer systems
Plants have evolved many capabilities to anchor, position their stems and leaves favourably, and adapt themselves to different environmental conditions by virtue of growing. Selenicereus setaceus is a cactus and is an impressive example of a climbing plant found mostly in the Atlantic forest formati...
