Researchers are always inspired by nature to improve their designs, especially when it comes to robots and drones. SpiRobs are soft Octopus inspired robots that can grasp a wide variety of objects. They replicate the logarithmic spiral that is common in natural organisms. They can handle objects of varying shapes, sizes, and weights.
