Stretchy ElectroSkin Robot Can Fit in a Pocket

Nov-22-19 The thin and stretchable ElectroSkin robot can be stored in a pocket and unfolded to travel along surfaces.

The soft, elastic robot created by a team from the University of Bristol relies on a network of artificial muscles that will expand and contract when triggered by electrical currents. This arrangement allows the robot to travel across various surfaces while still remaining flexible and resilient enough to be stored in a pocket or bag. According to the team, the ElectroSkin robots could be sent to explore disaster or hard-to-reach areas by moving along walls and ceilings, and could also have applications in wearable devices.
