Researchers develop a new type of soft, growing robot. Imagine rescuers searching for people in the rubble of a collapsed building.

Instead of digging through the debris by hand or having dogs sniff for signs of life, they bring out a small, air-tight cylinder. They place the device at the entrance of the debris and flip a switch. From one end of the cylinder, a tendril extends into the mass of stones and dirt, like a fast-climbing vine. A camera at the tip of the tendril gives rescuers a view of the otherwise unreachable places beneath the rubble. Go to the web site to view the video. 10. Trainable Robotic Arm 2. SmartSoft.
