GROWBOT

The GrowBot objective is to develop low-mass and low-volume robots capable of anchoring themselves, negotiating voids, and more generally climbing, where current climbing robots based on wheels, legs, or rails would get stuck or fall... GrowBot proposes a disruptively new paradigm of movement in robotics inspired by the moving-by-growing abilities of climbing plants... GrowBot takes inspiration by climbing plants to develop low-mass and low-volume robots able to anchore, negotiate voids, and in general climb.
