TPU-Based Steerable Eversion Robot with Integrated Navigation Muscles | Soft Robotics Demo

This video demonstrates a soft robotic eversion robot made from TPU material with integrated pneumatic navigation muscles. Controlled via an Xbox controller, the robot successfully navigates in free space and performs an S-shaped maneuver around obstacles. 🔧 What is an eversion robot? Eversion robots are a class of soft robots that grow by turning their body inside out — similar to how a party blower extends. This unique method of movement allows them to elongate from the tip without sliding their body along the ground, making them ideal for navigating narrow, sensitive, or cluttered environments. 🎮 The robot in this video is part of the ERC EndoTheranostics project, which aims to develop a next-generation soft robotic colonoscope for minimally invasive diagnostics and therapy. 📄 Related publication: Efficient Manufacturing of Steerable Eversion Robots with Integrated Pneumatic Artificial Muscles 🔗 https://www.mdpi.com/2504-4494/9/7/223
