Скачать или смотреть Robot Caterpillar Crawls Like a Real One — A New Breakthrough in Soft Robotics!

Meet the caterpillar-inspired soft robot that can crawl forward, backward, and even slip under narrow gaps — just like a real caterpillar! 🐛

Developed by researchers at North Carolina State University, this tiny robot uses silver nanowire heaters to bend, stretch, and move in both directions with precision. The innovation opens doors to energy-efficient soft robotics that could one day assist in search-and-rescue missions or exploration in confined spaces.

This groundbreaking study showcases how combining biomechanics and nanotechnology can reshape the future of robotics.
