COgITOR Soft Robot

<p>This movie features two scientists at Empa in Switzerland, Physicits Dr. Loghman Jamilpanah, and Chemist Dr. Kwanele W. Kunene, who carry out materials research for the development of a soft robot. The robot project is called COgITOR, inspired by Prof. Dr. Alessandro Chiolerio, Italian Institute of Technology, Torino, and Genova.</p> <div> <div> <div> <p><strong>COgITOR</strong>&nbsp;is a project funded under the topic H2020-FETOPEN-2018-2020 / H2020-FETOPEN-2018-2019-2020-01 programme, aiming at developing a liquid state cybernetic system prototype. Holonomic memory and computing, pressure sensing, and energy harvesting from thermal gradients will be achieved using colloids. The prototype will be tested in extreme environments for potential space applications.</p> <p>This project has received funding from the European Union&rsquo;s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 964388</p> <p>The website reflects only the author's view and that the European Commission is not responsible for any use that may be made of the information it contains</p> </div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div>&nbsp;</div> </div> </div>
