Bio-Inspired Soft Robotic Rover

If you want to explore an alien ocean, wheels won’t get you very far, but a rover that moves like an eel might. That’s why a team at Cornell University is designing a bio-inspired soft robotic rover that could one day explore the ocean on Jupiter’s icy moon Europa. NASA 360 joins Dr. Mason Peck of Cornell University as he discusses his NASA Innovative Advanced Concept (NIAC) for soft-robotic rovers with electrodynamic power scavenging.
