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 ...

Soon, a flexible octopus-like robot could be completely free of wires or internal electronics. Engineers at Rice University have unveiled a new soft robotic arm controlled by laser beams.

(Nanowerk News) Roboticists have long aspired to match the dexterity and adaptability of animals with engineered creations. Soft-bodied creatures like octopuses can smoothly interact with uncertain ...

For the first time, engineers have digitally recreated the complex muscular architecture of the octopus arm and its unique movements, which opens the door to developing soft robotics with ...

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 ...

Scientists inspired by the octopus’s nervous system have developed a robot that can decide how to move or grip objects by sensing its environment. The team from the University of Bristol’s Faculty of ...

"These animals can physically change their bodies at close to the micron scale, and now we can dynamically control the ...

Stanford researchers have developed a flexible material that can quickly change its surface texture and colors, offering ...

Synthetic cephalopod skin could be used in architecture and computer displays as well as background-matching subterfuge ...

Octopus-inspired synthetic skin shifts color and texture via nanoscale patterning, pointing to displays, camouflage, and soft ...

Scientists have unveiled a synthetic skin inspired by octopus camouflage that is capable of changing colour and texture, opening up potential uses from robotics to display technologies. Researchers ...
