- 1Beetle-inspired soft robot responds to finger gestures●Beetle-inspired soft robot follows finger commands to walk, grip and relay sensory information
Researchers have developed a soft robot modeled on a beetle that can walk, grip objects and relay sensory information in response to a user's finger movements. The robot translates hand gestures into commands, allowing intuitive control of its movement and grasping. The design combines a flexible, insect-inspired body with touch-based control, and is being covered as a notable advance in soft robotics and human-machine interaction.
