Snakeskin Robot Slithers with a Single Actuator
Feb-25-18
A snakeskin robot inspired by kirigami relies on its textured skin to travel on rough surfaces.Developed by the team at Harvard, the soft robot features a scale-like skin that becomes even more deeply textured when stretched. A single actuator inside the bot inflates to extend the scales, enhancing the gripping abilities of the bot, and then deflates to flatten and anchor the scales so the robot remains in place. Alternating between inflation and deflation causes the robot to move forward much like a snake.

Do the authorities have flying or crawling shields? Flying Screen (Feb-23-18) and Snakeskin Robot (Feb-25-18) might be modified with synthetic fibers, nets, smokes, profiles, prisms or mirrors to protect, cover, mislead or disturb.
