Try to burn it, run it over, or freeze it, and it just keeps on crawling. Developed by Michael Tolly of Harvard University and his team, the pink X-shaped robot is completely soft, with no rigid skeleton.
At 65 centimeters long, this robot has a battery capable of running for 2 hours on a single charge, and an air compressor system that drives its pneumatic motion. With a flexible body that can navigate through small spaces, and designed to be used in harsh terrain, this robot is ideal for search-and-rescue missions. It can work in temperatures reaching -9 °C, and can withstand fire for 20 seconds, get run over by a car, and resist water and acids.
