In order to develop self-healing soft robots, VUB Brubotics and FYSC develop an integrated approach consisting of several essential building blocks from new intrinsic autonomous and non-autonomous self-healing polymers with fillers for additional functionality, different processing techniques to autonomous healing soft robots with embedded self-healing sensors and heaters. This technology is experimentally validated in several soft robotic demonstrators.
