Stanford researchers have developed a new type of soft, growing robot.
This newly developed vine-like robot can grow across long distances without moving its whole body. It could prove useful in search and rescue operations and medical applications.
Inspired by natural organisms that cover distance by growing – such as vines, fungi and nerve cells – the researchers have made a proof of concept of their soft, growing robot and have run it through some challenging tests.
To investigate what their robot can do, the group created prototypes that move through various obstacles, travel toward a designated goal, and grow into a free-standing structure. This robot could serve a wide range of purposes, particularly in the realms of search and rescue and medical device.
It seems no one is interested in science and technology judging by the near zero level of replies.This is giving you a message.
Do you know what that message is?
That you are an angry person who makes broad generalizations? Keep in mind you replied with something that contributes zero insight to the topic of robotics so aren't you part of the message?

Actually I was referring to other posters and lack of input.In other words they show little interest compared to politics and sport.
I know what you were referring to. I find it hilarious that instead of contributing you are just making conclusions about everyone else on a science and nature forum, ironic eh?
It is good to see that scientist and researcher use the advancement of technology for the welfare of humanity as due to this technology the medical and healthcare sector will get benefit as where natural instruments cannot reach in human body then these robots can access veins and arteries in human body.
