VIDEO! This wave robot made of 3D-printed parts can crawl, swim and climb with a single motor

A robot developed by researchers can easily move forward or backward in a wave-like motion and can easily swim or crawl through unstable terrain like sand, grass and gravel – all using just one motor. The researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel have created ‘Single Actuator Wave-like robot’, using 3D-printed parts. The robot can crawl through unstable terrain like sand, reaching a top speed of 57 centimetres per second. The robot's innovative wave movement also enables it to climb through tunnels at a rate of eight centimetres per second when touching both sides.
