A SUPER-STRONG tentacle robot has been designed that can help with day-to-day tasks – and it can lift 260 times more than its own weight.
The machine can grab eggs and strawberries and even collect tissue and toilet paper.
The robot, which uses 2D movement, was inspired by octopus tentacles, elephant noses, and seahorse tails.
It appears as one singular curled object and can maneuver itself 360 degrees.
The tentacle can be operated using different speeds and can grasp items automatically.
It has also been adapted to move around and function flawlessly in confined spaces.
In a video, the tentacle robot tentacle arm can be seen in action, picking objects up, moving them, and even placing them in bowls.
Objects such as rocks have been placed in its path as an obstruction during the visual demonstration.
The robot can carefully navigate its way around the items that are in its way and is successfully able to still grab what it needs to.
It can even throw things by rolling up with an item in its grip before unraveling to launch it.
Things such as tennis balls can also be caught as the tentacle keeps itself straight and slowly bends itself to encompass the ball.
The robot can also lift dumbbells weighing 260 times more than its weight, as reported by What’s The Jam.
It can also operate with drones, lifting items off the ground and transporting them to a new location.
Multiple tentacles can be utilized for lifting bulkier items such as boxes and bowls by being attached to a machine with an extendable arm.
With a tip measuring just five one-thousandths of an inch in diameter, the robot can even catch ants and place them down without causing injury.
The tentacle has been created by the University of Science and Technology of China.

In the future, it may also come in handy during experiments that require fine operation.
China is also launching unique AI-powered robot chefs that cook entire meals autonomously at the press of a button.
Botinkit’s AI robot chef doesn’t just cook—it can wash up, follow recipes, and handle everything from stir-frying to stewing and salad-making.
Sleek in silver and grey, it features a touch-screen for selecting dishes and customizing preparations.
Shirley Chen Rui, chief executive officer of Botinkit in an interview with South Morning China Post, predicted robotic kitchens will be the norm very soon.
Botinkit says its robots slash labor costs by 30% and cut food and seasoning waste by 10%.
