Robotics education poses a significant challenge because it involves a number of different technological components and disciplines. So far, most of the existing teaching approaches focus on robots with fixed morphologies and rigid structures, which cover only subsets of the entire spectrum of related knowledge. From this perspective, this article explores an application of soft robotics research for robotics education and discusses the challenges and perspectives. We argue that the use of soft materials is crucial for understanding and teaching of a variety of topics related to intelligent adaptive systems. Along with the conceptual discussion, we introduce how the concept can be implemented into practical educational programs and report the latest concrete achievements in our lecture series.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
