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, ...

Elephant trunk inspires the universal robot gripper
EU-funded researchers have developed a soft robot that moves like an elephant’s trunk – precise enough to pick fresh fruit, yet powerful enough to help lift a patient.By Michael AllenLucia Beccai, an ...
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 ...

MIT engineers develop 3D-printed micro-robots that can be controlled by magnets
Engineers have developed a new soft magnetic hydrogel that can be 3D-printed into microscopic structures.
In the future, soft robots will be able to perform tasks that cannot be done by conventional robots. These soft robots could be used in terrain that is difficult to access and in environments where ...

Slime-like artificial muscle reshapes on command, heals after damage and turns one robot into many
Breaking away from conventional robots that perform only predefined functions once fabricated, researchers have developed a ...
"Ancient Japanese Art Brings Spineless Robot To Life!" Sounds very much like a movie plot summary. In reality, it perfectly ...
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 ...
It looks like footage taken from a deep-sea submersible. A small creature fills and deflates sacs to crawl across the ground, not a bone present in its translucent body. It’s not organic; in fact, ...
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 ...
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 ...
