This Soft Robot Needs Only Physics and Air to Spontaneously Sync and Scoot at Top Speeds

A Dutch robot with neither hardware nor software can nevertheless reach incredible speeds with its soft legs powered only by air and simple physics. Able to walk, hop, and swim without the aid of electronics or AI, its top speed will see it cross a distance equal to 30x the length of its body in […] The post This Soft Robot Needs Only Physics and Air to Spontaneously Sync and Scoot at Top Speeds appeared first on Good News Network.

The post Without "Thining: Robots move independently using compressed air" by Felix Baumann first appeared on BASIC thinking. About our newsletter you always stay up to date. Dutch researchers have developed an air-powered robot that moves exclusively by means of compressed air. The system works without chips and without control. A team of researchers from the Dutch AMOLF Institute has developed an air-powered robot that works without a central …
