Abstract in brief
- The text discusses how biological organisms and soft robotics can adapt by changing their shape through processes like self-amputation, regeneration, and temporary fusion, highlighting how these mechanisms enable collective behaviors and morphological flexibility.
- A key innovation described is a reversible cohesive interface made of thermoplastic elastomer, allowing soft robot modules to attach and detach easily without human intervention, facilitating modular and adaptable robotic structures.
- The work demonstrates practical applications such as a soft quadruped robot that can amputate a limb when stuck and a group of robots that fuse to cross gaps, emphasizing the future potential for robots that can radically change their shape and structure through mechanisms similar to biological systems.]
