Soft robotics and the jellyfish-bot (VIDEO) North Carolina State University This video is under embargo. Please login to access this video. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Caption Engineering researchers at North Carolina State University and Temple University have developed soft robots inspired by jellyfish that can outswim their real-life counterparts. More practically, the new jellyfish-bots highlight a technique that uses pre-stressed polymers to make soft robots more powerful. This video shows the jellyfish-bot, as well as a crawling robot and grasping claw that all use the pre-stressed technique. Credit Jie Yin, NC State University Usage Restrictions Credit must be given.
