Ant-Roach robot takes the inflatable route

Ant-Roach robot takes the inflatable route

I would not have figured out that robots in the near future might actually be of the Marshmallow Man variety, that is, it is inflatable. Well, this pneubot known as Ant-Roach is a 15-foot long walking robot, where it was developed by the folks over at Otherlab as part of their “pneubotics” project. Of course, they did not make a stab at it alone, but rather, did work in tandem with Meka Robotics and Manu Prakash at Stanford University, obtaining a fair bit of funds from DARPA's Maximum Mobility and Manipulation (M3) program.
