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

Researchers at Rice University have created an AI-powered soft robotic arm made from a new light-responsive elastomer.

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

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

Inspired by invertebrate organisms like jellyfish and earthworm, the research of soft robotics as alternatives to traditional rigid robots has made tremendous progress in recent years. Scientists are ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A team of University of Waterloo 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 ...
