iRobot’s Soft Morphing Blob ‘Bot Takes Its First Steps

28 November 2009 No Comment

Today I want to present a video about a different robotics concept: Softbody shape shifting though jamming. I haven’t heard about that before and personally think that it’s movement is creepy.

The video explains the concept and in the end you’ll see it move.
This is a very interesting concept if you think of bots on microscopic scale, lust like amoeba.
The less complex mechanical parts you have in a a machine, the less likely something will brake.
