Soft actuators in robots emit light in colors, patterns

Control Engineering

Taking a cue from nature, they built electroluminescent soft artificial muscles for flying, insect-scale robots. The tiny artificial muscles that control the robots’ wings emit colored light during flight. This electroluminescence could enable the robots to communicate with each other. The process adds just 2.5
