Not an Elder God or sex story confession videooctopus, but still want to pick up things with tentacles?
Look no further than this octopus-inspired soft robotic arm that you can use to manipulate objects.
Created by the researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences(SEAS) and Beihang University, the little tentacle arm can firmly grab and move objects such as eggs, iPhones, medicine balls, and, yes, live crabs.
Beyond being cute, there's some interesting science behind the robot. According to co-author of the paper behind the bot, August Domel, "most previous research on octopus-inspired robots focused either on mimicking the suction or the movement of the arm, but not both.”
By combining both traits into one device, the researchers were able to grip objects with a single tentacle, whereas traditional approaches would require multiple tentacles to achieve the same feat.
As you can see in the video above, the researchers successfully tested the robotic arm on a variety of objects of varying shapes and sizes, and were even able to retrieve objects from confined spaces.
