MIT's 3D printing "skin" will be more durable for robots and drones

According to foreign media reports, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (MIT CSAIL) recently printed a new shock absorbing material that is more durable in drones and robots. Reducing the impact of impact on the equipment after impact, making accurate landing possible. This new 3D printed material is called a programmable viscoelastic material.

This material does not provide a single shock absorption effect, but rather has a "programmable" performance - each 3D printed part that can be used to make this material has a specific level of elasticity and rigidity that enables it to be specific The way to react to the impact.
