Why Robots That Bend Are Better

Robots of the future may be softer, squishier and bendier than robots today. This could make them ideal for space exploration. Check out kiwico.com/Veritasium50 for 50% off your first month of any subscription!
On Thursday February 18th, 2021 the NASA Perseverance Rover will land on Mars. It is a wonderful robot, made out of steel and wire - but will future robots look like Perseverance? There is an emerging field of research on "soft robots", where the machines are flexible. These soft robots have many advantages over traditional robots - they're safer, lighter, more flexible and can change their shape and size.
NASA is investigating the use of soft robots for space missions. For future visits to Enceladus or Europa, a lander could cut a hole in the ice and then insert a compliant robot through the hole. This robot could then grow and change shape on the other side.

    🔴 What Is Islam? ⚠️ 🔴 Islam is not just another religion. 🔵 It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham. 🔴 Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God. 🔵 It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone. 🔴 It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine. 🌍 The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as: 📖 { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4)[4] 📚 🔴 Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus. 🔵 Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him.

    @@1islam1 The Quran is a book of rules and explanations about how the world works made up by people who actually knew very little about how the world works, with its rules were based on a morality that's hundreds of years outdated. So basically, holding this book as sacred, the point of Islam, is a very good way to freeze humanity's progress about our view of the world back hundreds of years to an era of relative vast ignorance, and to also freeze its progress in terms of morality to an era of savagery. That's what Islam is.

    *Many robots (including soft robots) are programmed for locomotion and other forms of motor control based upon the wiring principles of central pattern generators* (CPGs)-neural circuits that produce a wide frequency range of oscillatory rhythmic outputs even in the absence of sensory feedback-that have been adapted by evolution over hundreds of millions of years across the animal kingdom for axial, quadrupedal, and bipedal locomotion, as well as many other peculiar forms of locomotion, including rolling locomotion akin to that of the robot showcased in this video here. After several months of preparation, I'll soon be posting vids from my perspective as a Harvard neurobiologist and scientific editor/consultant. Cheers.

    It's a shame you didn't talk more about the actual uses and how the robot can be modified to achieve them. It's great that it shrinks down and Nasa could drill a hole to drop it in but what does it do then. The structure of the robot presents challenges to implementing the various uses, picking up a ball seems like a very limited use and I'm sure they have considered how to modify them to do more complicated tasks.

Cool is the whole point tho, if what you watch is cool and you learn something Derek wins, you just learned something!

    Seeing as the robot uses rollers.couldnt the implementation a repair function into one of the robots?akin to how a space ship would use blast doors to preserve compression.for example if the robot could sense the air flow from a puncture,the roller loads a cartridge of something akin to liquid flex tap and just rolls it on outer shell similar to how rollers flatten asphalt.because the nature of the damage is so simple most of the time(ie a big gash will take it out too quickly)it could seal small punctures using same concept of lamination and that bicycle tires use.if they make one of the rollers hollow for example,and can figure out a way to place a sensor,don't even need to build on much. was thinking using air limbs and main body structures like that first one would solve alot of the danger aspect as just pop the Ballon if something happens and only the plastic parts would be a danger.this could be used to say make a Table that carts around medicine automatically for the elderly,and if worest happens,a weight similar to 2-3 iphones would be the danger.

    Smart solution I think the biggest issues are how fast the air leaves and where the puncture is. There are spots where the rollers don't touch the tube and if the structure becomes too soft before it gets to the repair roller it'll be moot.
