The robot that changes shape moves like a octopus and the handles like an elephant

Inspired by the most adaptable creatures of nature, Spirobs are a new type of sweet robot Developed by researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China. Unlike traditional robotic arms based on rigid pliers, Spirobs can bend, wrap and adjust its shape to interact with objects more naturally – a bit like a octopus or an elephant trunk. With a success rate of more than 95%, it can manage everything, delicate eggs with objects 260 times its own weight. Its simple and motor design makes it profitable, durable and versatile, with potential applications in health care, industrial automation and even research and resistance.
