Researchers at MIT and the University of Notre Dame have developed a soft, flexible robot that can grow and manoeuvre around obstacles and through small spaces. First responders can use the robot in search-and-rescue operations to explore and map potential access routes under collapsed structures. https://techxplore.com/news/2025-04-flexible-robot-emergency-rubble.html #Robots #Robotics
