Soft-bodied robot moves just like a squid

I am formally convinced researchers are competing to create the creepiest, most skin-moving robots on the planet.

The most recent designer robot may be the creepiest and crawliest of all of them. It appears just like a modern-day Gumby, however it moves just like a mechanized earthworm that's to steal your soul when you sleep. In addition to that, it's amazing in the simplicity and potential effectiveness.

Scientists at Harvard College, brought by George M. Whitesides, lately released a paper within the Proceedings from the Nas explaining their invention.

"A mix of moving and undulation gaits permitted this robot to navigate a hard obstacle," the scientists condition within the paper's abstract.

It's known as a multigait soft robot and it is composed solely of soppy materials inspired by animals without hard internal skeletons, like squids and earthworms. When examined, it could travel through surfaces including like Jell-O, gravel, and dirt.

Based on PhysOrg.com, the project has been funded through the Pentagon's research arm. Commence irrational anxiety about the truly amazing robot-human war.
