What happened
An octopus can bend one part of an arm around an obstacle while another reaches into a small crevice to grab an object. Reproducing that local control in a soft robot requires multiple actuators (the part of a machine that produces movement)—components that turn energy into movement—together with their mounting hardware and connections.
