Squishy Robots From Tufts

April 10th, 2007 by SB

This one’s a little late in the game but boy do I have links. . .

Tufts be rockin' tha house y'all. . .


From Discovery:
“Tufts University biologists and engineers have launched an initiative to build robots with pliable parts — from the body down to the electronic components and wiring.”

More from Tufts Engineering, Science A GoGo, and a business blog which has info about the funders of this shindig, The Keck Foundation.

Tufts also has a Robotics Academy for teachers and schools in the Tufts area. Coolish, because everyone can get into robots, and robots can be taught to everyone!

Seriously. I once had a very good friend tell me that he didn’t know algebra, he was just trying to find out the value of this thing by using two other things he already knew.

But he definitely didn’t know a *thing* about algebra. . .

    More Tufts ‘chool’: they’re part of the OpenCourseWare Consortium.
