They open the door to softer, safer and more adaptable robots that could be used in medical tools that gently move inside the body, wearable devices that change shape on the skin or smart packaging that reacts to its environment.</p> Fri, 23 Jan 2026 15:59:18 +0000 admin 1039 at /minmat In Memoriam: Robert Lee /minmat/channels/news/memoriam-robert-lee-369998 <p>The Department is sad to announce the passing of Dr. Robert G.
