Fibre Reinforced 3D printing of soft robotic components

One of the factor that restricts the performance of soft robotic components is their low working life and meagre structural strength. To circumvent this limitation, I am trying to develop methods for fibre reinforced 3D printing. With this technology, soft parts with better structural strength will be developed ushering a new class of soft robots. Project is in prototyping stage and the results, so far, are very promising.
