MAPWORMS

Abstract

Scientists have long envisioned more human-like robots able to sense and respond to their environments. Although the term soft robotics emerged fewer than two decades ago, these systems are already finding applications in diverse fields including medicine, space and locomotion. Inspired by marine Annelida (segmented worms) that adapt to their environment with shape changes, the EU-funded MAPWORMS project will develop a new concept for adaptable, responsive and shape-morphing soft robotics. A study of adaptation and plasticity in the body plan of marine Annelida will inform a model for the development of smart soft materials with shape-morphing and self-healing capabilities, based on DNA components. These will form the building blocks of bio-inspired shape-morphing robots.

Method Step

Description

This dataset includes information from published papers on annelid distribution along the Salento Peninsula without an exact georeferenced location. The dataset includes information on 538 records with information on species, descriptive location, type of sediment, depth, and sampling dates. When information is not provided, then the empty cells are replaced with "NA" (Not Available), which is a common best practice to indicate missing data.
