A Soft Vine Robot Can Automatically Dress a Person and Perform Medical Intubation
这机器人从嘴里钻进人体，居然是来救命的
Researchers have developed a soft, pressure-driven 'vine' robot that can autonomously dress a person by adhering to their body and forming a protective suit in about 10 seconds. The same technology is applied to medical intubation, where the robot can navigate the human airway without friction, improving success rates and reducing training requirements. The system, based on a flexible tube that expands and adheres, shows promise for emergency response and healthcare applications.
