soft robots

This is likely to be a breakthrough compared to previous engineering robots, creating a generation of robots capable of performing many tasks in high temperature environments.

Scientists at Harvard University create a soft, snake-like robot that can crawl, twist or straighten, promising more useful applications, Xinhua reported on Feb. 22.

This type of muscle can expand 15 times and is 3 times stronger than natural muscle, as well as the ability to lift things 1,000 times more than the muscles of a person.

British scientists have successfully built a robot capable of eating and digesting food for energy like humans.
