Robots are present in all kinds of applications that affect our daily lives, but we still very rarely see them working closely with humans. That’s because putting a big, powerful robot right next to a soft, fragile human and having them work together safely is somewhat tricky. German robotics company Festo has created a robot that mimics the movement of an elephant’s trunk and could possibly be safe enough to work alongside our squishy, easily-crushed human bodies with a minimum amount of bone breaking.
