Inspired by the external skeleton of a spider, the robot leg is more flexible than conventional robots.
A small robot that resembles a spider’s leg has been developed by engineers at the University of Tartu. Inspired by nature, the fingernail-long leg is more flexible than conventional robots.
Its dexterous movements are expected to help people rescued from rubble and other danger zones in the future.
The robot leg modeled after the leg of a cucumber spider was created by researchers from the Institute of Technology of the University of Tartu and the Italian Institute of Technology. In the near future, it’s expected to move where humans cannot.
In cooperation with researchers from the China University of Petroleum, the working group of Dr. Werner Nau, Professor of Chemistry at Constructor University, has demonstrated the effectiveness of a new method of intracellular protein transport.
