Here is an inchworm inspired robot that can carry loads more than 100g at speeds up to 9mm per second. Researchers experimented with number of activated sections, object size and material, supplied air pressure, and command execution rate to pull this off. It outperforms similar models in speed and load capacity.

As the researchers explain, they will use deep learning algorithms to enhance the control of these types of robots.
