3D printing full soft structure "Octopus robot" came out
by the research team led by Harvard University in the United States using 3D printing technology to make an octopus bionic robot, the robot is made of silicone rubber soft structure, the height is less than 2 cm, not only contains an internal control system and comes with its own fuel, can achieve a certain degree of autonomous drive, no need to drag a large number of external pipe lines
.
If mature, these soft robots can perform many tasks
that traditional robots cannot do.

The research team designed a very ingenious internal control system
for this robot.
When a hydrogen peroxide solution used as fuel is injected into the robot, it reacts with the catalyst platinum to generate water and oxygen
.
In coordination with the control system, oxygen is delivered to a specific area, allowing the robot's designated arm to expand, expand and contract, and pneumatically actuate
.
Eventually these gases are released from the robot through the vent
holes.
