Interestingly, this robotic version could be used to install power lines underground efficiently. IEEE Spectrum reported that this worm-inspired robot utilizes a clever mechanism of alternating ...

Earthworms move by contracting body segments in a wave-like motion, which is ideal for tight spaces. Interestingly, this robotic version could be used to install power lines underground efficiently.

An earthworm-inspired, self-propelled robotic sleeve designed for installing underground power lines has been developed by a ...

They chomp and chew the soil like underground earthworms, and ‘tunnel down’ in snaky worm-patterns, with the class forming four ‘worm-lines’ across the room. Eventually they snooze as a ...
