Researchers have developed a new resilient actuator that could allow soft robots to operate ...

Engineers at Princeton University have built a new class of soft robots that move ...

With their ability to shapeshift and manipulate delicate objects, soft robots could work as medical implants, deliver drugs ...

To be safely and reliably deployed in outer space, underwater and in other extreme environments, robots need to be able to ...

This approach removes a major limitation in soft robotics. Traditional fluid-driven systems rely on “heavy, bulky, oftentimes ...

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, ...

A new soft sensing system could help humanoid robots move their hands with far greater precision in delicate, human-like ...

Futuristic control of structure in some materials is being made possible by a physics loophole.

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 ...

Kathryn “Kati” Daltorio has already dedicated most of her time at Case Western Reserve University to developing more responsive “soft robots.” Now, she has a National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER ...
