New Device Inspired by Venus Flytrap Could Revolutionize Robotics
Scientists have long turned to nature for inspiration in developing cutting-edge technology. A recent breakthrough by engineers at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) demonstrates how nature’s intelligence can be mimicked in electronic devices. The researchers have developed a liquid metal-based logic module (LLM) that replicates the sensory and memory functions of the Venus flytrap. This groundbreaking invention could have far-reaching applications in robotics, prosthetics, and artificial intelligence (AI).
