- John Hopkins University scientists of USA have built a soft robot named Gelbots.
- Gelbots are made out of gelatin.
- They are created by 3D printing.
- They are capable of moving without requiring an extra power source because of the way their shape, dimensions and patterning of gel are designed.
- This is because the gels swell or shrink in response to temperature.
- They can be used to create smart structures.
- Even they can be used for moving on surfaces through the human body to deliver targeted medicines.
- They could also be deployed as marine robots, patrolling and monitoring the ocean’s surface.
- Gelbots can be trained to crawl in response to variations in human biomarkers and biochemical.
