Scientists have long been inspired by the mantis shrimp's unique biomechanical features, particularly its fast striking mechanism. Recent research from Seoul National University has applied these principles to soft robotics, developing a soft robotic arm that utilizes the Hyperelastic Torque Reversal Mechanism (HeTRM). This innovative design leverages material properties rather than structural complexity, allowing for new types of motion. The findings suggest that mimicking the mantis shrimp can lead to advancements in robotic technologies, improving efficiency and durability in various applications.
The robot relies on material properties rather than structural design, allowing for a new type of motion inspired by mantis shrimp's unique biomechanical abilities.
By applying the principles of torque reversal to soft robotics, researchers are developing simpler mechanisms that can produce complex motion without complexity in design.
