Imagine having a continuum soft robotic arm bend around a bunch of grapes or broccoli, adjusting its grip in real time as it lifts the object. Unlike traditional rigid robots that generally aim to ...

Recent progress in soft materials, fabrication, and bioinspired design has significantly expanded the capabilities of soft robots in locomotion, ...

Breaking away from conventional robots that perform only predefined functions once fabricated, researchers have developed a ...

Engineers have developed a new soft magnetic hydrogel that can be 3D-printed into microscopic structures.

HydroSpread, a breakthrough fabrication method, lets scientists build ultrathin soft robots directly on water. These tiny, insect-inspired machines could transform robotics, healthcare, and ...

Kathryn “Kati” Daltorio has already dedicated most of her time at Case Western Reserve University to developing more responsive “soft robots.” Now, she has a National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER ...

Researchers have developed a soft robot that moves like an elephant's trunk—precise enough to pick fresh fruit, yet powerful ...

"Ancient Japanese Art Brings Spineless Robot To Life!" Sounds very much like a movie plot summary. In reality, it perfectly ...

Researchers at Cornell University have been working on batteries that can 'flow' through the internal structures of robots, kind of like how blood in humans' veins powers our bodies. The team has been ...

Underwater octopuses change their body color and texture in the blink of an eye to blend perfectly into their surroundings when evading predators or capturing prey. They transform their bodies to ...
