People toss around the word “novel” fairly often in robotics papers, but this right here is the definition of a novel mechanism, and it might be one of the most creative ideas I’ve seen presented at a robotics conference in a long time. This is not to say that popcorn is going to completely transform robotic actuation or anything, but it’s weird enough that it might plausibly end up in some useful (if very specific) robotic applications.
