How do Peeps get into the package without being reduced to ‘a big gooey mess’? Robots help ...

Harvard researchers have developed a 3D-printing method that could make it easier to build soft robots designed to bend, ...

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 ...

Robotic technology is advancing rapidly, and researchers are exploring new ways to make robots more functional and environmentally friendly. One breakthrough comes from scientists at Westlake ...

Engineers at MIT have devised an ingenious new way to produce artificial muscles for soft robots that can flex in more than one direction, similar to the complex muscles in the human body. The team ...

Robots that can sense touch and perceive temperature differences? An unexpected material might just make this a reality. Researchers are developing soft and intelligent sensor materials based on ...

The first self-checkout system was installed in 1986 in a Kroger grocery store just outside of Atlanta. It took several decades, but the technology has finally proliferated across the U.S. Given the ...

Engineers propose a new quantitative framework to account for and predict the impact of temperature on the curing speed of platinum-catalyzed silicone elastomers. The findings could maximize ...

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, ...
