Exploring The Microcosmos: Navigating Springs Aboard With Gentle Finesse

Researchers at the Chemnitz University of Technology, the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Leibniz IFW Dresden have developed controllable springs at arbitrary chosen locations within soft three-dimensional structures. These “picosprings” have large and adjustable compliancy and can be remotely controlled through magnetic fields, allowing for articulated motion in microbots and measuring forces in interactions with cells.

Electronic skin anticipates and perceives touch from different directions for the first time — ScienceDaily

A research team from Chemnitz and Dresden has taken a major step forward in the development of sensitive electronic skin (e-skin) with integrated artificial hairs. E-skins are flexible electronic systems that try to mimic the sensitivity of their natural human skin counterparts. Applications range from skin replacement and medical sensors on the body to artificial skin for humanoid robots and androids.
