Engineers create a caterpillar-shaped robot that splits into segments, reassembles, hauls and crawls
Engineers from Princeton and North Carolina State University have developed a soft robot that navigates mazes effortlessly by integrating ancient paper-folding techniques with modern materials science.
Unlike traditional steering systems that compromise flexibility, this robot incorporates its steering mechanism directly into its body.
The researchers describe their creation, comprised of modular cylindrical segments, in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
These segments, capable of independent operation or forming longer units, enable the robot to move, steer, and even pick up cargo, Tech Xplore has reported.
