![Inflatable object passing through a narrow opening in a solid wall to inflate on the other side. Caption: We call these vine robots because they grow](https://dcmp.org/posterimages/11718_1.jpg )
With support from the National Science Foundation, researchers at Stanford University and the University of California, Santa Barbara are building soft robots inspired by vines. The team is also engineering vine robots with the ability to configure themselves into 3-D structures, such as manipulators and antennae for communication. Part of the "Science Nation" series.
