Tracked robots are often used in search & rescue and other challenging missions. Most can’t change their shape to adapt to new environments though. This Shape Changing Continuous Track Robot is different. It is actuated using only 2 motors and can change its shape to climb over obstacles and pass over objects without touching them.
