«This work not only sheds
new light on skeleton formation of
animals, but also might inspire interdisciplinary studies in fields such as theoretical biology, bioengineering,
robotics, and architectural engineering, utilizing mechanisms of self - constructing architectures that self - adjust to their environments, including remote environments such as the deep sea or space,» the researchers write.
«When you're connecting a
robotic system to an
animal, or a human, you have to be careful,» he told
New Scientist.
