An insect-scale robot that jumps using only light has completed 188 continuous leaps without ...

Snakes may be best known for slithering. But consider that these animals also perform one of the most extreme feats of posture control found in nature: They can stand nearly straight upright on a ...

One day, robots might navigate through your blood vessels to break up clots, deliver targeted chemotherapy or repair ruptured blood vessels more efficiently and effectively than existing tools, ...

An electronic tattoo that can monitor your brain. A robot dog designed to comfort people with dementia. These are among several emerging technologies researchers say could transform life for older ...

Harvard researchers have developed a 3D-printing method that could make it easier to build soft robots designed to bend, ...

Scientists at the University of Bristol have discovered that the common kitchen ingredient, used in Vietnamese spring rolls, is biodegradable, non-toxic and suitable for soft robotic prototyping, ...

Fast forward nine years, and the consortium Overvelde and Kluin have assembled, in the hope of making the soft artificial ...

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 useful questions to ask when encountering a new robot, “can I eat it” is generally not one of them. I say ‘generally,’ because edible robots are actually a thing—and not just ...

CEO Massimiliano Colella delayed introducing the company’s soft tissue surgery system in the U.S. by a year but says the improved robot that is hitting the market now was worth the wait.

Harvard engineers created rotational multimaterial 3D printing that embeds air channels in soft robotic parts, enabling hand-like motion without molds.

A new artificial intelligence control system enables soft robotic arms to learn a wide repertoire of motions and tasks once, then adjust to new ...
