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 ...
Snakes may be best known for slithering. But consider that these animals also perform one of the most extreme feats of posture control found in nature: They can stand nearly straight upright on a ...
Soft robots that power themselves from their surroundings are moving from lab curiosity to strategic technology, promising machines that can swim the deepest oceans, survive the vacuum of space, and ...
One day, robots might navigate through your blood vessels to break up clots, deliver targeted chemotherapy or repair ruptured blood vessels more efficiently and effectively than existing tools, ...

Light-powered soft robot jumps 188 times without motor, carries 1,700x its weight
An insect-scale robot that jumps using only light has completed 188 continuous leaps without ...
Harvard engineers created rotational multimaterial 3D printing that embeds air channels in soft robotic parts, enabling hand-like motion without molds.
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 ...
Harvard researchers have developed a 3D-printing method that could make it easier to build soft robots designed to bend, ...
Fast forward nine years, and the consortium Overvelde and Kluin have assembled, in the hope of making the soft artificial ...
A new artificial intelligence control system enables soft robotic arms to learn a wide repertoire of motions and tasks once, then adjust to new ...
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 ...
Robots are becoming increasingly capable in vision and movement, yet touch remains one of their major weaknesses. Now, researchers have developed a miniature tactile sensor that could give robots ...
