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 ...

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University are developing a new self-propelled robotic sleeve inspired by the earthworm. Earthworms move by contracting body segments in a wave-like motion ...

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

The children imagine they are underground in cold, frosty weather, jabbing with their elbows and knees to break up the soil, then ‘freezing’ in spiky shapes. They chomp and chew the soil like ...
