University of Genoa researchers created the Porcospino Flex, a 3.6kg crawling robot inspired by millipedes and porcupines that navigates tight spaces using a flexible 3D-printed spine with natural spines for gripping. The 670mm robot can bend 120 degrees without motors, climb 70mm steps, and operates more efficiently than previous versions with 15% lower power consumption.
