Manipulating Stiffness of Biomechanical Systems to Train Muscle

A new design for the skeleton of biohybrid robots, millimeter scale soft robots powered by engineered muscle actuators, was developed to provide a binary change in stiffness. Two variations of the design were created, one using elastic 50A resin and the other PDMS. The elastic 50A resin design was f...
