The initial idea for CJ_#1 was inspired by recent research conducted at the Harvard University, where a pneumatic-based soft robot was created called Octobot, which can move with a high degree of autonomy.
Soft robotics takes a different approach to the idea of a moving machine, in which the priority is not on the geometric precision of movement in space, but on controlling its ability to adapt to changing environmental conditions. Control of the indeterminate.
What we find fascinating is the
in an object designed to interact with the human body. The body is a always a “one-off”. Its very identity, living material, senses and thoughts are not repeatable. And our experience of the inanimate world around us is not universal. It is a unicum. That is why we needed something completely different.
