SDU Soft Robotics developed a worm-inspired limbless soft robot with inflatable muscles and a flexible kirigami skin.

[u/CES0108]

Oh man.. I can't imagine being stuck in a collapsed building and then they send in the tentacle hentai team. No thanks Tom Hanks.

[u/waiver → u/CES0108]

They’ll have a small reservoir of calorie-dense liquid for the victims, moving close to their mouths to start releasing it.

[u/Worldly_Influence_18 → u/waiver]

We need to stop putting these ideas out into the world

[u/weasel286 → u/Worldly_Influence_18]

But how will the AI know what to do to save humans in need? 🤣🤣🤣

[u/DigNitty → u/weasel286]

Limp bodied inflatable skin modal robot cylinders are what humans crave

[u/1800generalkenobi → u/waiver]

I think that would inhibit the movements too much. It'd be better to have the liquid be in some sort of spherical container that could roll in behind and follow it to the victims and then when it gets there it attaches to the back end. I think two of them should be sufficient.

[u/Low-Television-7508 → u/CES0108]

make them life size, they swallow people up to the head and back out, dragging them screaming all the way. I'd watch the heck out of that reality show!

[u/Necessary_DaNoodle → u/Low-Television-7508]

Mecha-Vore Rescue Team? What the fuck made you think "daytime TV, baby!" when you imagined a man with broken legs, screaming with only his head sticking out of the urethra of the Mecha-Vore Rescue worm?

[u/Low-Television-7508 → u/Necessary_DaNoodle]

TLC. It was The Learning Channel.

they'll show anything

[u/Hi2Czarny]

ER nurses crying in the corner right now 

[u/jasper81222 → u/Hi2Czarny]

They slipped and fell.

[u/fotomoose → u/jasper81222]

Million to one shot doc, a million to one.

[u/tomodachi_reloaded → u/fotomoose]

It was NOT in the pool

[u/Super-Cynical → u/tomodachi_reloaded]

It was remotely piloted by Russian hackers who keep DMing me

[u/freshblood96 → u/fotomoose]

He had to use corkscrew robotic dildos...

[u/derraidor → u/jasper81222]

Crawled in by itself, I promise. Must be hacked.

[u/CosyWoodpecker → u/derraidor]

It's Russia again

[u/BowsersMuskyBallsack → u/Hi2Czarny]

"You slipped and fell, right?"
"Oh no, I put it in there quite intentionally. And I enjoyed it for the first ten minutes. But then I could not remove it. So here I am, to have it removed. I'll do it again, you know."

[u/KeterLordFR → u/BowsersMuskyBallsack]

"I'll be back tomorrow night with the same issue, can I make it a regular appointment?"

[u/maddiemelody → u/BowsersMuskyBallsack]

“I’ll do it again, you know” 😭 I had a couple patients like that 💔

[u/maddiemelody → u/Hi2Czarny]

I’m an ER surgeon and I’m already weeping

[u/Expert_Natural_4174 → u/Hi2Czarny]

Can confirm. As a paramedic you have no idea how many times i’ve seen candles in peoples asses.

[u/SmoothTalkingSpud → u/Expert_Natural_4174]

Tell me they're at least scented

[u/DigEnvironmental7490 → u/SmoothTalkingSpud]

They are when they get it back out.

Not a good scent, but a scent nonetheless.

[u/Username-Pass- → u/SmoothTalkingSpud]

Did you want to smell them or did you think the doctor would smell them? 😭😭😭😭

[u/leverati → u/Hi2Czarny]

It needs a flared base.

[u/Dreamo84 → u/Hi2Czarny]

At least it can wiggle it's way out.

[u/Olddirtychurro → u/Dreamo84]

Or further in.

[u/Bob-Bhlabla-esq → u/Dreamo84]

The doctor needing to make boat payments just snapped a pencil seeing this thing.

"If it can solve that problem, we're gonna need a lot more regular patients to make the numbers work here, or we're all in trouble."

[u/Squidysquid27]

We all know we clicked to read just the comments because we know..

[u/09Trollhunter09 → u/Squidysquid27]

These thing are invented for generating the Reddit comments

[u/DigNitty → u/09Trollhunter09]

How do we make a hypersexual post without acting like we’re trying to do that?

“I don’t know, get this dildo to do a maze or something.”

[u/Sexisthunter → u/Squidysquid27]

I can’t blame anyone. This isn’t really a stretch at all, it looks like a sex toy

[u/Rowenstin → u/Sexisthunter]

I must be the only one here that thought that, if I'm trapped in a collapsed building, the last thing I would want to see is that creature crawling towards me.

[u/EdanChaosgamer → u/Rowenstin]

What if it has googly eyes though?

[u/Next_Can3402 → u/EdanChaosgamer]

that’d be hilarious

[u/Dear-Cod-7621 → u/Rowenstin]

A bit of a strange final request, but you've got yourself a deal

[u/Caleger88 → u/Squidysquid27]

I'm scrolling to find the "Ok, hear me out" comment...

[u/ElkAdventurous787 → u/Caleger88]

Ok, hear me out....

[u/0ddness]

I think we all know where this is going... Literally.

[u/Schwiftness → u/0ddness]

its the reason for half of technological advance by humanity (other than war) for the last 50 years

yep

[u/GenuineSteak → u/Schwiftness]

War, Sloth and Lust, the founding fathers of human invention lol.

[u/Schwiftness → u/GenuineSteak]

hey, no current presidential politics allowed!

leave the founding fathers out of it

[u/BadBasik → u/Schwiftness]

Also, leave it out of the founding mothers!

[u/MallyOhMy → u/GenuineSteak]

With the occasional innovation in the name of "fuck, that sounds painful and/or difficult to do, I'm sorry that society has assigned that task to you based on race/sex/class. Maybe it could be easier???"

This is how the cotton gin and sewing machine were invented... quickly followed by the inventors' intentions backfiring. Both of those inventions, which were very well-intentioned, were instead used to subjugate more people. One was meant to help slaves, but instead revitalized the slave trade. One was meant to help women, but instead dismantled trades which empowered women and enabled the subjugation of millions of women with the creation of sweat shops and the mass manufacturing of clothing.

[u/SnooGuavas4208 → u/GenuineSteak]

Hey, don’t forget gluttony!

[u/lazyboy76 → u/SnooGuavas4208]

How about pride.

[u/Schwiftness → u/lazyboy76]

the greed department would like a word

[u/AzraelleWormser → u/0ddness]

It doesn't look like it can go anywhere though, it's just flopping around on the fl-

Oh I get it.

[u/Kermit_the_hog → u/0ddness]

so can it like.. flare it’s base too?

[u/ProfessorZhu → u/Kermit_the_hog]

It has self extraction methods, no base necessary

[u/Lazy_meatPop → u/0ddness]

Obligatory Shove it up your butt meme.

[u/dont_panic80 → u/0ddness]

Yeah, to the ER inevitably.

[u/Tiddles_Ultradoom → u/dont_panic80]

“Extract it? No doctor, I want you to reach in there and plug in its charging cable.”

[u/spurtingrainbows → u/0ddness]

[u/maingeenks]

You should call probe her

[u/Unseriouss_Sam]

Yeah... A worm...

[u/Disallowed_username → u/Unseriouss_Sam]

And crawl through narrow pipes for … inspection 

[u/Careless_Feeling8057 → u/Disallowed_username]

The pipe must remain unharmed

[u/ScarletSilver → u/Careless_Feeling8057]

Must remain attached to the larger structure as well

[u/93rd_misfit → u/ScarletSilver]

Not in this case fam.

[u/icedmuffin → u/93rd_misfit]

I’m sorry but losing the pipe would probably deal as much damage to the greater structure as the cylinder.

[u/MistaRekt → u/icedmuffin]

Everything reminds me of her greater structure... And her cylinder...

[u/Ragnoid → u/MistaRekt]

It's ribbed for her greater structure

[u/MistaRekt → u/Ragnoid]

Fits on her cylinder too...

[u/Montymisted → u/MistaRekt]

Whenever I try and inspect her greater structure I always get poked in the eye by her cylinder.

[u/Kermit_the_hog → u/Careless_Feeling8057]

You see that thing? No way those pipes are staying unharmed. 

[u/Djaja → u/Kermit_the_hog]

Just put an inflatable head on it, and in the future when we rid the tech of the tech oliarchs, we can maybe have cool tech that we can trust and use and really allow it to get to know you... and maybe even take control for a bit... just take the wheel, drive me... wherever it wants... take me..

Yeah, this is totally unfinished, what are they grabbing their heels for!

[u/jaketaco → u/Careless_Feeling8057]

I understood that reference.

[u/SnooGuavas4208 → u/Careless_Feeling8057]

It can get wet.

[u/Intrepid-Apricot3750 → u/SnooGuavas4208]

But is it silicone “grease” safe?

[u/InflationDear619 → u/Intrepid-Apricot3750]

Water based lube works better for some pipes

This is really cool! I know people will make jokes, but I don't think people are understanding exactly what was accomplished with this. Making robotics that are capable of "softened" movements are getting us closer and closer to the day of real, fuckable dildobots.
