Resumen de Self-sufficient soft bot
Revell talks about a robotic scavenger. It's a self-sustaining soft robot with a mouth and gut. Developed by a Bristol-based collaboration, this robot imitates the life of salps--squishy tube-shaped marine organisms. Salps have an opening at each end, one for food to enter and one for waste to leave. They digest any tasty treats that pass through their body, giving them just enough energy to wiggle about. The same is true for the Bristol bot. By opening its "mouth," made from a soft polymer membrane, the robot can suck in a bellyful of water and biomatter.
