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

Rice becomes weaker when compressed quickly, while staying stronger under slow pressure—a discovery enabling scientists to ...

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

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

An electronic tattoo that can monitor your brain. A robot dog designed to comfort people with dementia. These are among ...

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 ...

Soft robotics is poised to revolutionize industries with its flexibility and adaptability. This Collection will highlight original research on the design, fabrication, and application of soft robotic ...

In a laboratory in Connecticut, a palm-sized silicone robot scrunches up its body to inch forward in a caterpillar-like motion. A brick tips over onto its leg, trapping it as it struggles to move on.

And it’s worth thinking about exactly how remarkable it is that the new humanoid robots are able to replicate the smooth, fluid, organic movements of humans and other animals, because the majority of ...

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 ...
