Soft robots that run on air instead of electricity are starting to behave less like simple inflatable toys and more like ...

Robots that move, sense and even coordinate with one another usually bring to mind tangled wires, circuit boards and humming ...

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 ...

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 ...

Despite how advanced robots have become, getting them to feel the way humans do is an incredibly complex challenge.

Locomotive magnetic soft robots are categorized based on their structural characteristics into one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D), three-dimensional (3D), and fluidic types. Recently, Dr.

At the Soft Robotics Lab at ETH Zurich, the scene looks less like a traditional engineering workshop and more like a child’s ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I'm a senior tech contributor who writes about science and technology MIT CSAIL researchers have developed a new system that ...

Engineers at MIT have devised an ingenious new way to produce artificial muscles for soft robots that can flex in more than one direction, similar to the complex muscles in the human body. The team ...

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 ...
