> But it’s unlikely for you to actually need endurance because you’re not getting signal that far through a cave without repeaters or a long cable. I mean you could let it roam on it's own and report back no? But even if you had to be in the same area as it, it then lets you go for even longer. Like some people sleep in these caves and bag in/out a bunch of supplies so needing to carry less batteries would be nice I assume. > A bigger deal is being able to go underwater or fit through tiny openings. That's in the abstract as well: "Our design strengthens the robot while granting the ability to access narrow spaces by folding the structure - up to a volume expansion ratio of 19.8."
