Aesthetically and behaviorally realistic, the T8X is the only robot in the market that combines so much resemblance to a real spider with fine movements, programmability, and customizability.

2022年8月4日 · Scientists have literally reanimated dead spiders to do their bidding. In a new field dubbed “necrobotics,” researchers converted the corpses of wolf spiders into grippers that can manipulate...

2016年1月6日 · Aesthetically and behaviorally realistic, the T8X is the only robot in the market that combines so much resemblance to a real spider with fine movements, programmability, and customizability.

Necrobotics utilizes the spider's organic hydraulic system and their compact legs to create an efficient and simple gripper system. The necrobotic spider gripper is capable of lifting small and light objects, thereby serving as an alternative to complex and costly small mechanical grippers. [6]

The arachno-bot is a soft articulated robot design that serves as a survey device to collect information in areas deemed too toxic or dangerous for humans. The arachno-bot was developed in 2011 by a team of researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute of Manufacturing Engineering and Automation in Stuttgart, Germany. [1] .

2024年10月1日 · In 2022, researchers at Rice University successfully turned a dead wolf spider into a gripping device capable of picking up and putting down objects. In doing so, they pioneered a completely new subset of robotics: necrobotics. …

2023年11月7日 · Engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder have created a small robot spider that can passively shapeshift, allowing it to squeeze through narrow spaces and navigate challenging terrain....

2022年7月28日 · Scientists have successfully transformed dead spiders into robotic gripping claws. The new field of research is known as “necrobotics” and could create cheap, effective, and biodegradable...

Spider robots are multi-legged machines inspired by — you guessed it — spiders! With their striking, arachnid-like design, spider robots stand out from the usual suspects for their ability to navigate complex surfaces.

2022年8月8日 · Now, they’ve developed a mechanism in which a dead spider can become a ready-to-use gripping tool for small and delicate objects of up to 1.3 times the spider’s body weight. They’re able to...
