Venus Flytrap-Inspired Soft Robot Runs Without Wires
Original: The Venus Flytrap-Inspired Soft Robot That Doesn't Need Wires
A new soft robot modeled on the Venus flytrap has been unveiled, capable of operating without wires. The design, reported by Hackster.io, takes cues from the carnivorous plant's rapid snapping mechanism and appears to work untethered, a notable step for soft robotics where power and control lines typically limit movement and real-world use.
Why now: Novel biomimetic robotics that solve the tethering problem tend to attract broad attention in tech communities.
