Spirobs Shape-Shifting Robot Moves Like an Octopus and Lifts 260x Its Weight Inspired by nature’s most adaptable creatures, SpiRobs is a new soft robot developed by researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China. Unlike traditional robotic arms that rely on rigid grippers, SpiRobs can bend, wrap, and adjust its shape to interact with objects more naturally—much like an octopus or an elephant trunk. With a success rate of over 95%, it can handle everything from delicate eggs to objects 260 times its own weight. Its simple, motor-free design makes it cost-effective, durable, and versatile, with potential applications in healthcare, industrial automation, and even search-and-rescue. #robot #robotics Mashable is your source for the latest in tech, culture, and entertainment.   Subscribe to Mashable:  Follow us: Check out Facebook: Twitter: Instagram:
