Fast forward nine years, and the consortium Overvelde and Kluin have assembled, in the hope of making the soft artificial ...

Researchers have taken inspiration from nature to create a robotic wing that can sense and adapt to changes in water to deliver unparalleled stability. Drawing on the adaptive movements of birds and ...

Rice becomes weaker when compressed quickly, while staying stronger under slow pressure—a discovery enabling scientists to design a new material that could be used to build "soft" robots that change ...

Rice is a staple food for billions of people, but scientists have now discovered it could also inspire a new generation of smart materials. Researchers led by the University of Birmingham found that ...

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 ...

A new artificial intelligence control system enables soft robotic arms to learn a wide repertoire of motions and tasks once, ...

This week's report shows how robotics is evolving beyond isolated cells into integrated, intelligent manufacturing systems.

Harvard engineers created rotational multimaterial 3D printing that embeds air channels in soft robotic parts, enabling hand-like motion without molds.

Magnetic composite with stiffness control allows programmable 3D shape shifting for use in soft robots, tactile interfaces, and reconfigurable displays. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Cephalopods such as ...
