American researchers have developed an autonomous soft robot that can change its shape and walk on four legs without the need of a tether.
Researchers from Harvard University and Cornell University detailed the innovative composite materials, design features, and fabrication methods they used to develop a soft robot, which were capable of functioning for several hours using a battery pack or for longer periods with a light-weight electrical tether, and were able to carry payloads of up to 8 kg.
