If someone asked you to move like a robot and you responded with the fluid art of ballet, your audience would be baffled, yet ...

A new machine-learning technique can train and control a reconfigurable soft robot that can dynamically change its shape to complete a task. The researchers also built a simulator that can evaluate ...

A team from the University of Sheffield has turned a long-standing weakness in robotics into a key strength. Led by Dr. Lin Cao from the university’s School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Precision in drug delivery has long posed a significant challenge to the medical field. Relying on the body’s circulatory system to transport medications often results in ...

How can programmed failure protocols help improve sheet-based fluidic devices, the latter of which have become a cornerstone in enhancing soft robotics worldwide? This is what a recent study published ...

A soft electroactive gel enables untethered robots to deform, grip, and move using only external electric fields, eliminating the need for internal wiring or circuitry. (Nanowerk Spotlight) The ...

A research team develops 3D-printed pneumatic logic modules that control the movements of soft robots using only air pressure. These modules enable logical switching of the air flow and can thus ...

A research team in South Korea has developed a soft robot named Octoid that can mimic the movement and behavior of an octopus in its natural habitat. The robot's "triple-in-one" system enables it to ...
