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 ...

It has been a long endeavor to create biohybrid robots – machines powered by lab-grown muscle as potential actuators. The flexibility of biohybrid robots could allow them to squeeze and twist through ...

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 ...

Fluid robot motion is the result of design choices among five options including pneumatics and strain wave gears.

Inspired by natural organisms, we developed a bionic soft robot with triple responsiveness to temperature, humidity, and magnetic fields. This robot is capable of rapid actuation in diverse ...

While there are many potential uses for soft-bodied robots, the things are still typically only built in small experimental batches. Scottish scientists are out to change that, with a ...

A humanoid learned to control its facial motors by watching itself in a mirror before imitating human lip movement from ...

A magnetic marker is installed with the metal clip at the suspected lesion during the endoscopic examination. Before operation, a capsule containing the soft robots with Cy5 is taken. The soft robots ...
