Hochner and his colleagues haven’t yet identified the active agent in the animals’ self-avoidance behavior, but they say it is yet another demonstration of octopus intelligence. The self-avoidance strategy might even find its way into bioinspired robot design.
霍齐纳和他的同事们还没能确定在动物自我回避行为中起作用的活化剂,但是他们说这是章鱼智慧的又一次完美呈现。这种自我回避策略也许将来会应用于仿生机器人的设计。
“Soft robots have advantages [in] that they can reshape their body,” Nesher says. “This is especially advantageous in unfamiliar environments with many obstacles that can be bypassed only by flexible manipulators, such as the internal human body environment.”
“柔软的机器人的优势在于他们可以改变身体形状,”内舍说。“这在一个陌生的环境中是尤其有利的,这样可以利用灵活的机械手绕过重重障碍,比如在人体的内部环境中。”
In fact, the researchers are sharing their findings with European Commission project STIFF-FLOP, aimed to develop a flexible surgical manipulator in the shape of an octopus arm. “We hope and believe that this mechanism will find expression in such new classes of robots and their control systems,” Hochner says.
事实上,研究者正在于欧洲委员会STIFF-FLOP项目共享他们的研究成果,该项目致力于研发章鱼腕足形状的手术操作臂。霍齐纳说:“我们希望并且相信这个机制能够在这种新型机器人和他们的控制系统中发光发热。”
