Texas A&M University has developed a new class of biomaterial inks that mimic native characteristics of highly conductive human tissue, which is needed for the ink used in 3D printing, or additive manufacturing. This also allows any researcher to build 3D bioprinters tailored to fit their own research needs.

Hollywood is a go-to source of inspiration for roboticists. The sensors can be attached to soft bodies in motion – anything from the mechanical tendons of prosthetic leg, to the pulsating matter of human internal organs – for the purpose of tracking shape-change and proper functioning, no cameras required.

Machines can be video recorded to analyze operations; motion can be slowed to examine functionality in detail. Keep in mind the jam could have been caused by something else and there may be other sources of power that power the devices. It also works well on systems that are made of a series of sequential functions.
