Everting vine robot applications organized by the function of the robot in the application, including (top left) deploying and reconfiguring structures, (bottom left) navigating constrained environments without damaging the environment or the robot, and (top right) applying forces to the environment through squeezing, pushing, pulling, or expanding. (Bottom right) Some applications, such as burrowing, incorporate multiple functions. Modified from Hawkes et al. (2017). Reprinted with permission from AAAS. Modified from Blumenschein et al.
