The Future of Robotics? Boneless, Brainy Invertebrates
The Future of Robotics? Eurekalert has posted a new article entitled Boneless, Brainy, and Ancient, which discusses how an octopus may be the ideal solution for robotics arms of the future. No more dimensional restrictions in the movement, due to joint rotations and translations! Even more interesting is the way each octopus' arm is controlled. The central 'brain' apparently acts as a general, giving out orders to members. These orders can be performed in a fully independant and parallel fashion. Definitely a lot of potential for the manufacturing industry there... | Alex J. Champandard 934 posts. Thursday 29 November, 11:45 Reply
