Researchers have developed a soft robot capable of crawling like a worm, climbing cables, and rapidly changing shape to shift directions—all powered by a single air input. Soft robots are flexible but ...

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 ...

Robotic technology is advancing rapidly, and researchers are exploring new ways to make robots more functional and environmentally friendly. One breakthrough comes from scientists at Westlake ...

Researchers built OCTOID, a soft robot that shifts color and shape like an octopus, responding to electrical signals, blending with surroundings, and grasping objects. (Nanowerk News) Underwater ...

Using paper coated with silicon resin and iron particles, researchers created an untethered soft robot that can move without any electronics. This magnetically controlled device can detect heavy metal ...

A tunable initial coiling structure soft robot (ICSBot) has been developed by combining theoretical calculations, finite element analysis, and direct ink writing technology. By mimicking the ...
