think back Ant - Roach , the inflatable robot that looked likethe lovechild of a dildo and a wildebeest ? Roboticists at Harvard have constructed an even weirder biomimetic balloon . This soft robot , which was developed by Harvard’sWhiteside Research Group , takes its pool stick from pliable fauna like squid , starfish , and worms .
