Scientists create a 3D printed soft robotic hand that can play Nintendo's Super Mario Bros

Marking a major innovation in the world of robotics, scientists have managed to 3D print a soft robotic hand that is controlled by a single pressure control instead of multiple control lines.

As a breakthrough in the field of robotics, researchers from the University of Maryland have created a soft robotic hand that was able to play a game of Nintendo’s Super Mario Bros. The robot was able to complete the first level of the game in under 90 seconds. Published in the journal Science Advances, the new research shows promising innovations in the field of soft robotics. Soft robotics is a part of robotics that focuses on creating flexible, inflatable robots which are powered using water or air instead of electricity.
