Information about the worm-like Meshworm Robot and its Features

Hallo Charls,

You may have come across several options when it comes to control of real worms, but you might have never come across a worm robot till then. The Meshworm is the latest invention by the researchers at the MIT, Seoul as well Harvard Universities. It is a bot that has been made from artificial muscle that has got flexible mesh tube which has been segmented by loops of nickel or titanium wire.

What the wire does is contracting we as well as squeezing the tube in the event that is heated by current, but it should cut the power and gain its original shape. That will enable creation of a propulsion in a manner that is similar to that of the living kin. Traditional parts can be taken out in order to make it hardy.

Regards,

Carl
