Asoft-bodied humanoid robot developed in China can stretch its limbs to more than three times their original length, shrink ...

Imagine having a continuum soft robotic arm bend around a bunch of grapes or broccoli, adjusting its grip in real time as it lifts the object. Unlike traditional rigid robots that generally aim to ...

It has been a long endeavor to create biohybrid robots – machines powered by lab-grown muscle as potential actuators. The flexibility of biohybrid robots could allow them to squeeze and twist through ...

It looks like footage taken from a deep-sea submersible. A small creature fills and deflates sacs to crawl across the ground, not a bone present in its translucent body. It’s not organic; in fact, ...

Researchers are continuing to make progress on developing a new synthetic material that behaves like biological muscle, an ...

Inspired by natural organisms, we developed a bionic soft robot with triple responsiveness to temperature, humidity, and magnetic fields. This robot is capable of rapid actuation in diverse ...

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 ...
