Researchers at the University of California San Diego have developed 3D-printed robots that can walk without wires, electronics, or batteries.
The robots are made from a single material, printed in one piece using a 3D printer and are powered by a small cartridge of compressed gas.
They can function in environments where traditional electronics wouldn't work, such as high radiation areas or space, and can walk on different surfaces and even underwater.
The team plans to work on storing the compressed gas within the robot and using eco-friendly materials in future iterations.
