MIT Researchers Develop New Hydrogel Material that has Potent Applications

A cube of Jell-O left on the kitchen counter would ultimately turn into a shrunken, hardened mass once all of the water within it has evaporated. The same occurs with hydrogels that are made mostly of water. These gelatin-like polymer materials are flexible and absorbent until they unavoidably dry out.

Hexapod + Drone = New Industrial & Research Applications for Motion Simulation and Compensation

Hexapods are 6 DOF motion systems that derive 6-axis movement (XYZ, Pitch, Yaw) from actuators placed in parallel between a top and bottom platform. Available in a variety of sizes with bases ranging from 100mm to 1m, different stiffness configurations, and supportive of loads from 2 kg to 1,000+ kg, PI hexapods share two common traits – precision and versatility– as seen in a new test of a drone-mounted camera on PI’s H-840 hexapod as it goes thru a series of motions.
