ETH Zurich’s Latest Robot Moves Like a Millipede
We have seen plenty of amazing bio-inspired robots in the past few years. ETH Zurich’s engineers have come up with a magnetically controllable cilia carpet that can move like a millipede. As they explain,
“by stretching and folding onto curved templates, programmable magnetization patterns can be encoded into artificial cilia carpets.”
Walking like a millipede
The robot has legs that move like waves. Such an approach can also be used to transport liquids and particles.
