In the laboratory experiment, a living worm was introduced in a model crowded environment made of fixed obstacles (left). Their locomotion in such environment is compared with simulation using an ...

Much like earthworms, which move by contracting their body segments in a wave-like motion, the new robot employs a mechanism of alternating segment expansion and retraction to achieve locomotion. The ...

In a crowded room, we naturally move slower than in an empty space. Surprisingly, worms can show the exact opposite behavior: in an environment with randomly scattered obstacles, they tend to move ...
