Sea slug feeding inspires soft robotics

techxplore.com

Sea slug feeding mechanics are being modeled to advance soft robotics. Researchers created a 2D computer model of a sea slug's mouth, improving upon previous 1D models to better capture muscle movements for robot design. This research aims to create adaptable, sustainable soft robots by understanding biological systems, building on previous work like the "SlugBot" project.
