00:00These strange tentacles look to be out of a science fiction movie.
00:05What it really is, is a unique way researchers are using nature to grab objects using entanglement.
00:12Think of an octopus or a jellyfish.
00:15Researchers at Harvard designed this robot with these tentacle grippers.
00:18It is meant to be able to entangle various objects using different strengths for each
00:23tentacle without damaging them.
00:25First, we have a spear.
00:29Next, we have a cylinder, both horizontally and vertically.
00:38And lastly, here is a tree-like object.
00:41The hope is that this technology will replace traditional grippers.
