Colorado State University unveils morphing robots inspired by nature, designed for gripping, climbing, and more. A leap in robotics technology.
Colorado State University researchers have unveiled a trio of remarkable robots that can alter their bodies and legs, mimicking biological organisms' adaptability to different environments. Inspired by nature, these morphing robots have been developed by the Department of Mechanical Engineering and are detailed in a recently published paper in, leading the research team alongside recent Ph.D.
"Frogs can make these kinds of changes effortlessly, for example. They start as tadpoles with tails for swimming before developing legs that let them jump, crawl, or swim," Zhao elaborated. "We take inspiration from those transformations, but achieving animal-like embedded shape morphing in robots remains challenging and is something we hope this work will continue to address."
