Estudio muestra secuencias multi-paso de pulpos en aperturas estrechas

Investigadores de la Universidad Nacional de Singapur informaron que los pulpos comunes utilizan secuencias coordinadas de tres y cuatro pasos para atravesar aberturas menores que su cuerpo, un descubrimiento que podría servir para diseñar robots flexibles. Los hallazgos fueron publicados en un estudio reciente. Informes anteriores habían señalado que el equipo estudiaba la flexibilidad de los pulpos para inspirar robots de búsqueda y rescate más adaptables, observando tanto a pulpos comunes como a pulpos mayas al sortear espacios estrechos y planificando aplicar la estrategia de tracción en futuros dispositivos de rescate.
