Robots are designed to achieve specific tasks rather than general utility, and a bottom-up approach starting with new materials could potentially lead to robots that meet the needs for autonomy and general utility across industries.
Robots have been built to accomplish specific tasks with high repeatability instead of general utility. Taking inspiration from the evolution of animals to survive and adapt to changing environments, we discuss how a bottom up approach that begins with new materials could lead to robots that may address needs for autonomy and general utility across industries.
