Foldable Soft Electromagnetic Robot Enables Multimodal Navigation in Confined Spaces

This announcement introduces a small-scale, foldable soft electromagnetic robot designed for multimodal locomotion in confined and unstructured environments, such as the human gastrointestinal tract. The robot features a six-spoke elastomer body with liquid metal channels and can rapidly switch between over nine locomotion modes, demonstrating high agility and speed. This development highlights advances in soft robotics for navigating complex biological environments.
