Robotic moth grows its own sensors using UV light and artificial blood

Original: Robotic moth grows its own sensors with UV light and artificial blood

Researchers have developed a robotic moth capable of growing its own sensors, using ultraviolet light and an artificial blood-like fluid. The approach suggests a new way to build soft robotics, where sensors form on the machine rather than being manually installed. Details of the project are drawing attention for blending biology-inspired materials with robotics.

Why now: The unusual combination of self-growing sensors, UV light and artificial blood is a striking advance in soft robotics.
