It’s Friday! Do the worm like this little guy. This is an example of a soft robot. Soft robotics is an emerging field that aims to create nimble machines that imitate nature. The one shown here can move thanks to waves of pressure applied along its body. It’s incredibly flexible, so it can sneak under small spaces and keep moving forward despite physical pressure, like being run over by a car, for example. “The main objective is not to make super-precise machines, because we've already got them, but to make robots able to face unexpected situations in the real world,” says biomedical engineer Giada Gerboni. “We are just starting to learn how to control, how to put sensors on these very flexible structures. But of course, we are not even close to what nature figured out in millions of years of evolution.” To learn more about how these flexible structures could play a critical role in surgery, medicine and our daily lives, visit go.ted.com/softrobots
