About FAIRY Robots:
- The FAIRY robot, which is based on the Light Responsive Materials Assembly, is a tiny lightweight robot that floats in the wind.
- Surprisingly, the robot can be controlled by a light source like a laser beam or an LED.
- Researchers could use light to change the shape of the robot, allowing it to adapt to the direction of the wind.
- A soft actuator made of light-responsive liquid crystalline elastomer powers the polymer assembly robot inspired by dandelion seeds.
- As a result, the researchers were able to stimulate the actuator’s bristles to open or close by using visible light.
