Exciting advancements at SIMTech! Collaborating with National University of Singapore and The Chinese University of Hong Kong, the team has developed a transparent soft robot inspired by the moon jellyfish. This innovative robot uses cutting-edge materials to mimic jellyfish movements, allowing it to blend seamlessly into underwater environments. This breakthrough has potential applications in environmental monitoring and underwater exploration. Proud of the team pushing the boundaries of bio-mimicry and robotics! 📜: https://lnkd.in/gqauqJbp #Innovation #Robotics #Biomimicry #SoftRobotics #JellyfishRobot #UnderwaterTech #EnvironmentalMonitoring #TechForGood #R&D
A Singapore-China research team successfully designed a soft robot that mimics both the movement and glass-like appearance of a moon jellyfish (𝘼𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙖 𝙖𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙖) 🪼 “Integrating transparency into soft robots can be valuable for many applications, such as non-disruptive underwater surveillance, allowing researchers to observe aquatic animals in their natural habitats,” explained Wang Yuzhe, a Senior Scientist at the Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology (SIMTech). Working closely with collaborators at the National University of Singapore and the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Wang and colleagues developed a dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA) using a novel hybrid compliant electrode that combines a conductive polymer with silver nanowires. When the DEA was used to construct the robot’s bell-shaped body, the researchers found that it stretched and contracted like a muscle, allowing it to imitate 𝘼. 𝙖𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙖’s vertical and horizontal movements in water.

I had the opportunity to represent the team to share about Green Compass to Senior Minister of State Koh Poh Koon at last week’s CleanEnviro Summit Singapore. We had an engaging discussion about how Green Compass is well positioned to help companies in their environmental sustainability journey. One of the questions he asked was, “Can this be used to support green procurement?” Green Compass can certainly help guide your suppliers to become more environmentally sustainable. There is also a Singapore Standard (TR) currently in development, that serves as a guide for companies, especially SMEs, to become more environmentally sustainable through a continual improvement model adapted from Green Compass. The standard will be verifiable and will be published before the end of 2024. Want to be among the first to see the standard? Drop a comment below 👇🏻 and I’ll be sure to let you know when it’s out! P.S. Yes, he’s that tall - I had to crane my neck upwards! 😄 Thanks Cindy Huang for the pic 🙏 Lai Sing Chai Jonathan Low Liat Boon Lek Daren Tan Zhiquan Yeo Jonathan S.C.
