Скачать или смотреть Is nature better at robot design?

Robots inspired by nature, are some of the most simple robotics solutions to complex problems.

How do we make machines handle anything from a fragile to egg to a heavy item with the same grace?

Meet SpiRobs, the octopus-inspired robot from the University of Science and Technology of China that's changing how we think about machines.

Scientists reverse-engineered those amazing logarithmic spirals found throughout nature like in octapi or the trunks of elephants to create this truly unique robotic arm.

Look how it can grip objects of different shapes and sizes with incredible precision – just like an octopus wrapping around its prey.

What makes this even cooler is how it combines the flexibility of octopus arms with the precision of human hands.

It can lift objects over 250 times it’s weight
