MIT creates new robotic worm



Next time you see a worm on the ground it could be robotic. Developers at MIT have created a mesh like worm robot. It uses small electrical currents to move the artificial muscle inside the mesh body. Since this robot uses no motors at all, its energy consumption is very low. Just like a real worm, this robot is soft and it has multiple segments. Some say that this type of robot could be used in the military as a spy bot. Overall, it's pretty amazing that this robot moves just like a real worm. If you want to see it in action, then check out the video above, and thanks for reading!
