Soft robotics will pick fruit with finesse and save your life too

What's the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a robot? Well yes, you're not wrong, however, I want to introduce a new breed of robots that might change the way you think about them entirely. 'Soft robots', unlike their old, rigid counterparts, are simply robots constructed with soft materials. These transformations have emerged due to recent new fields of science such as biomimetics (looking to nature to solve complex human problems) and morphological computation (replicating physical systems to improve computation efficiency). In other words, systems that basically mimic nature and biology to make things work more efficiently.
