Edible Soft Robotics (33c3)

As a soft roboticist I am constantly searching for inspiration for novel soft actuators, and as a home cook and artist I consider eating an object to be a high-level form of interactivity. Having noted the similarities between cast silicone and gummi candies it was natural to combine these interests. I will share my experiments in assessing different candies for their engineering potential, and show my work-in-progress for sweet soft robots. about this event: https://fahrplan.events.ccc.de/congress/2016/Fahrplan/events/8113.html
