Excited to share our new work in @science.org #Robotics that shows how reversible kinks can help nematodes perform jumps 1000 times faster than you can blink! scim.ag/4iDIa1i 🧵: Work co-led by @chemicalsunnyraj.bsky.social , @itiwari93.bsky.social and Victor Ortega-Jimenez with many other colleagues
Reversible kink instability drives ultrafast jumping in nematodes and soft robots
