# New soft robots roll like tires, spin like tops and orbit like moons


Researchers have developed a new soft robot design that engages in three
simultaneous behaviors: rolling forward, spinning like a record, and following a
path that orbits around a central point. The device, which operates without
human or computer control, holds promise for developing soft robotic devices
that can be used to navigate and map unknown environments.
