Soft grippers, which are built from flexible materials that can bend and deform, are attracting a lot of attention from ...

Researchers have found an ingenious way to make soft robots and wearable technology more than three times more powerful by ...

Soft robots have a “cardiovascular” problem. While their bodies can deform and bend, their hearts, the pumps that keep them moving, have remained bulky and rigid. Researchers at the University of ...

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.

Researchers introduces the first toroidal, light-driven micro-robot that can move autonomously in viscous liquids, such as mucus. This innovation marks a major step forward in developing micro-robots ...

Ishikawa, Japan-- Soft robotics is an emerging field in the robotic world with promising adaptability in navigating unstructured environments. Where traditional robots struggle with unpredictable ...

In the public imagination, robots are often envisioned as rigid, metallic constructs—towering Transformers, Pixar’s WALL-E, ...

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 ...

Scientists in Italy have developed a flexible robotic arm modelled on the octopus, combining soft materials with touch-sensitive suction cups. Designed to work in crowded and delicate environments, ...

When disaster strikes and buildings collapse, every second counts for emergency responders searching for survivors trapped beneath rubble. Traditional tools often fall short in these dangerous, ...
