ソフトマターロボティクスの開拓

抄録

3D printing technology is becoming more useful and applicable for various research and development. Here we focus on 3D printing of soft-matter, especially introducing the latest progress of our 3D gel printing. We are trying to develop new advanced technology and applications based on 3D gel printing, including GEL-MECHANICS, GEL-PHOTONICS, and GEL-ROBOTICS. We try starting up a new 3D gel printing company for new high-tech businesses and creating new research field, named ‘Soft-matter Robotics’.
