Study reveals octopuses use multi-step sequences to navigate narrow gaps
Researchers from the National University of Singapore reported that common octopuses employ coordinated three- and four-step sequences to pass through openings smaller than their bodies, a finding that could inform the design of flexible robots. The observations were documented in a newly published study. Earlier reports had noted that the team was studying octopus flexibility to inspire more adaptable search-and-rescue robots, observing both common and Mayan octopuses navigating tight spaces and planning to apply the pulling strategy to future rescue devices.
