Soft robots and soft materials are being explored by researchers to advance work in robotics, medicine and health care, and ...

From cells that migrate to tissues that heal, nature abounds with systems capable of sensing and adapting to their ...

The flexible material acts as an “artificial muscle,” enabling robots to move more naturally and safely than traditional ...

Superhumans don’t exist in the real world, but someday you might see super robots. Obviously, robots can be made that are stronger, faster, and better than humans, but do you think there is a limit to ...

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 ...

Researchers develop a recyclable sulfur-based polymer that enables 4D printing of soft robots with programmable shape changes and magnetic responsiveness. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Materials designed to ...

A team of researchers has created smart, advanced materials that will be the building blocks for a future generation of soft medical microrobots. These tiny robots have the potential to conduct ...

“This funding will allow my research group to significantly expand its research,” says Pal. The 33‑year‑old leads the Soft Robotics Mechanics Group at the Institute of Applied Mechanics. “We are ...
