Why Robots That Bend Are Better

The video explores the concept of soft robots, focusing on their construction, functionality, and applications. Soft robots are made from flexible materials like plastic tubing and are powered by pneumatic systems, making them safe for human interaction. They can change shape and are useful in environments where traditional electronics pose risks. The video also discusses the potential for soft robots in space exploration and their ability to manipulate objects, drawing parallels to octopus-like flexibility.
