Engineers develop soft robot that crawls, climbs, and shape-shifts to move in new directions

A new type of soft robot can crawl like a worm, climb cables, and suddenly snap into a completely different shape to move in a new direction—all controlled by a single air input. This breakthrough, developed by researchers at Seoul National University, introduces a fundamentally new way for soft robots to move and adapt to their surroundings. The work is published in the journal Cell Reports Physical Science.
