Researchers have created a ring-shaped soft robot capable of crawling across surfaces when exposed to elevated temperatures or infrared light. The researchers have demonstrated that these ‘ringbots’ are capable of pulling a small payload across the surface — in ambient air or under water, as well as passing through a gap that is narrower than its ring size.
