Researchers at UC San Diego's Bioinspired Robotics Laboratory have created innovative, electronics-free robots manufactured via 3D printing with thermoplastic polyurethane. These robots effectively mimic movement through airflow instead of relying on complex electronic systems. The six-legged robots can waddle across diverse terrains, powered solely by compressed air, allowing them to operate continuously for days with a refillable CO2 cartridge. Their design demonstrates that low-tech robotics can perform effectively in environments unfriendly to conventional electronics, potentially leading to their application in various fields.
Roboticists at the Bioinspired Robotics Laboratory have developed soft-bodied robots that operate using compressed air, showcasing the potential of low-tech robotics.
This innovative design eliminates the need for electronics, using a single piece of 3D-printed thermoplastic polyurethane that can function in various terrains.
