• Resumen

  • Octobot, developed by Michael Wehner and colleagues at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering, Harvard University, is a big step towards fulfilling the potential of soft robots. Standard robots are made of carbon fibre, with plastic and metal circuit boards, copper wiring, high-power rechargeable batteries and electric motors. All this rigidity makes them fit poorly into the human world where their fragile bodies prevail.
