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 spinning 3D printer nozzle creates soft robots with built-in air channels that bend in programmed directions, turning flat ...

McGill University engineers have developed ultra-thin materials that can move, fold, and reshape themselves, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have succeeded in developing the smallest fully autonomous robot in history. It measures less than 1 millimeter and can swim underwater for months powered only by light.

New origami-based electrohydraulic actuators enhance soft robots' agility, enabling rapid, untethered movement across complex ...

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 ...
