The Future of Machines That Move like Animals | Robert Katzschmann | TED
Imagine a boat that propels by moving its “tail“ from side to side, just like a fish. That’s the kind of machine that TED Fellow Robert Katzschmann’s lab builds: soft-bodied robots that imitate natural movements with artificial, silent muscles. He lays out his vision for machines that take on mesmerizing new forms, made of softer and more lifelike materials — and capable of discovering unknown parts of the world.
