Soft robotics is a new engineering field in which robots take on shapes and functions we never thought possible before.
These machines are made of soft, flexible, malleable materials.
They are being developed by research institutions the world over.
The idea for soft robots comes from the animal Kingdom and particularly soft bodied creatures like cephalopods.
Octopuses, for instance, don't have any bones in their bodies, instead relying on alternate structures and the pressure of the ocean around them to keep their bodies strong and stiff when needed.
Soft robots could be used in medicine and submersibles.
NASA is also reportedly interested in developing soft robots that work like squids.
Soft robotics is all about making robots more natural, animal and human like in terms of design.
The technology could be used to make artificial muscles and even artificial hearts.
Soft robotics has been theorized as a way to give machines human like skin capable of transmitting sensory information about touch.
