Soft robotics might be the next big thing in medicine. With the cutting-edge technology, researchers have created a glove to return a paralyzed hand to its full function and an unobtrusive exoskeleton for patients with severe neurological diseases. The newest innovations in the field could come from UNLV. Thanks to a $3.8 million award from the National Science Foundation this week, a team of UNLV researchers are researching material that could have applications for soft robotics.
