Robotic Silicone Tentacle

I’ve been developing ways to use 3d powder printing to make air powered robots that have no hard moving parts. Using procedural modeling I can create rapid iterations, incremental designs, and inexpensive prototypes with a simple set of tools.

It is controlled through a Processing interface and an A
