Raw Video: Flexible Robot Crawls in Tight Spaces
Loading...
Published on Nov 28, 2011 by AssociatedPress
Harvard scientists have built a new type of flexible robot that is limber enough to wiggle through tight spaces. The team borrowed from squids and other animals to create a robot that calls to mind the clay animation character Gumby. (Nov. 28)

interestingly.... weird
-
this seems kind of a simple design/concept. i suppose they're just interested in getting robots to move more "fluidly."
-
I can see that it uses 'air' to inflate and deflate itself.
That being said, it'll be hard to create a 'flexible' airpump to be built inside an independently moving model.

How low can you go!
-
@TripleScreamer So it seems. I remain somewhat skeptical about it, but hopefully that is truly a breakthrough with an unknown technology. I can imagine many uses
-
kinda creepy lol technology is gettin a lil ahead of itself...and this thing kinda moves under the glass like a Maggot XD
-
ive seen enough Hentai to know where this technologie it headed toward...
-
pneumatics???
-
@andrespereyda Is it autonomous? I am skeptical of this, as I said before. It looks like nothing more than a toy. Take away that umbilical (IMBECILE) cord and let's see what happens. Previously, there was a similar article/video of robots playing ping pong. BUT when you read the details of the article, it turned out that they were being controlled by someone.
