The Science Robotics journal published in October 2025 features an article titled “Bioinspired photoresponsive soft robotic lens.” The researchers propose that the PHySL represents an innovative advancement for the future. Its potential applications include soft robots capable of visual perception, versatile medical instruments, and intelligent wearable technology. A study has revealed that human vision is not as effective as we might expect, largely because our brain handles much of the processing, indicating that this lens could address the shortcomings where human vision proves to be inadequate.
