Scientists at Harvard University have created a 'super flexible' robot that crawls and crawls through narrow gaps.

The scientists said they took the idea from sea stars, squid and other invertebrates to make this robot.
The four-legged robot, shaped like a 10cm long moth, is made of silicone rubber, which rolls into a ball and pushes itself forward.

The researchers tested the robot's flexibility by letting it crawl under a glass 15 times. The distance between the glass and the ground is less than 2cm.
In most 'obstacles' , the robot takes less than a minute.
In recent years, scientists have stepped up research into robots that can travel through narrow spaces to help find survivors of natural disasters such as earthquakes, School in difficult terrain conditions.
