The new recognition comes from Science– a new journal publishing group – which published an article for its first issue, “Science Robotics” by scientists from the BioRobotics Institute of Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna and the Italian Institute of Technology which are two leading institutions in “soft revolutions”, for having created the first robot in the world, inspired by the octopus, and the plant world “Plantoid”.
