Spider-like robot

A recent study from engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder introduces mCLARI, a diminutive shape-changing robot. This modular robot, measuring a mere 2 centimeters in length, exhibits the remarkable ability to alter its shape passively, enabling it to navigate and squeeze through tight spaces in various directions. Despite its minuscule size, it boasts impressive strength, as it can support a load over three times its own weight, making it a versatile and lightweight robotic system.
