2、 an answer to this pressing issue: ROBOTS.He and his team managed to develop a new type of robots named TP robots. Looking like standup vacuum cleaners attached to a tablet computer, they can be activated remotely via a smartphone and guided remotely by a controller app similar to the way a mouse is

3、 used on a desktop computer.

10、nicsfree walking robots，” said Dylan Drotman, a PhD student in Tolleys research group and the papers first author.Applications include lowcost robots for entertainment, such as toys, and robots that can operate in environments where electronics cannot function, such as MRI machines. Soft robots are

11、of particular interest because they easily adapt to their environment and operate safely near humans.Most soft robots are powered by air and are controlled by electronic circuits. But this approach requires complex components like circuit boards, valves (阀门) and pumps often outside the robots body.

12、These components, which make up the robots brain and nervous system, are typically large and expensive. By contrast, the UC San Diego robot is controlled by a lightweight, lowcost system of airpowered circuits, made up of tubes and soft valves, on board the robot itself. The robot can walk on comman

13、d or in response to signals it senses from the environment. “With our approach, you could make a very complex robotic brain，” said Tolley, the studys senior author. “Our focus here was to make the simplest airpowered nervous system needed to control walking.”In the future, researchers want to improv

14、e the robots ways to walk so it can walk on natural fields and uneven surfaces. This would allow the robot to navigate over a variety of obstacles (障碍). This would require a more complicated network of sensors and as a result a more complex airpowered system. The team will also look at how the techn
