Drawing inspiration from the most adaptable beings in nature, SpiRobs is a groundbreaking **soft robot** developed by researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China. In contrast to traditional robotic arms that utilize rigid grippers, SpiRobs has the ability to bend, wrap, and modify its shape to engage with objects in a more organic manner—akin to an octopus or an elephant’s trunk. With a remarkable success rate of over 95%, it can manage delicate items such as eggs alongside objects that are up to 260 times its own weight. Its uncomplicated, motor-free design renders it cost-effective, durable, and remarkably versatile, with promising uses in healthcare, industrial automation, and search-and-rescue missions.
