A team of researchers from the CREATE Lab at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) made a robot inspired by the body of an elephant, combining strong legs and a soft, flexible trunk. Instead of using different materials to make the robot's bones and muscles, they shaped the inside of a single material using special lattices.

A new elephant-inspired robot can do some of the most surprising tasks, from gently plucking a flower with its trunk to powerfully kicking a bowling ball. It’s all thanks to...
