Inspired by nature, soft robots powered by air move autonomously without electronics, mimicking animal-like coordination.

Researchers have created soft robot s that move independently without complex electronics in a breakthrough inspired by nature’s efficiency.These robots, which are modeled after the roadside inflatable tube dancers, move in unison and independently thanks only to airflow and physical structure.

The outcome is a soft robot that can move quickly and adaptably, providing a fresh method for creating robots that behave more like living things without bulky controllers.Air-driven autonomyThe driving force behind this new class of soft robots lies in a surprisingly familiar principle: the same physics that animates inflatable tube dancers. These robots’ soft, tubular legs first vibrate randomly since they are powered solely by a constant air stream.
