However, currently most of the development is taking place within technical\u00a0research projects and initiatives. In the REAL research group at ITU we are experimenting with soft morphologies and IT in relation to ideas that traverse\u00a0the sciences and the arts.<\/span><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0*<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">\n<div align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Cambria\">Persons involved:\u00a0 Laura Beloff, Jonas J<span lang=\"da\">\u00f8rgensen<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Cambria\"><span lang=\"da\">Students: Sofie Glerup Larsen<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogit.itu.dk\/real\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2016\/06\/image_1_softRobot.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1044\" src=\"https:\/\/blogit.itu.dk\/real\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2016\/06\/image_1_softRobot-300x33.jpg\" alt=\"image_1_softRobot\" width=\"673\" height=\"74\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogit.itu.dk\/real\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2016\/06\/image_1_softRobot-300x33.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogit.itu.dk\/real\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2016\/06\/image_1_softRobot-768x85.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogit.itu.dk\/real\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2016\/06\/image_1_softRobot-600x67.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blogit.itu.dk\/real\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2016\/06\/image_1_softRobot.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 673px) 100vw, 673px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Soft robotics is a growing field of research, which focuses on soft and compliant materials that are designed to replace some or all of the traditional rigid parts conventionally used in robotics.
