Soft Growing Robotics

Soft growing robotics is a type of robotics that uses materials that are soft and flexible, like rubber or plastic, instead of metal and hard parts. This can help make robots that are better able to move in more natural ways, and can make robots more safe for people to use. They can also be more energy efficient, because softer parts don't require as much energy to move. Soft growing robots can be used for a number of things, like helping with physical therapy, or work in factories.
