Soft robots aim to move and change shape smoothly, but they often rely on bulky motors or external systems. To overcome this, ...
Engineers at Princeton University have built a new class of soft robots that move ...
Researchers from Ben Gurion University in the Negev, Israel, have designed a reconfigurable crawling robot that can shift its shape to traverse different terrains. Known as DSTAR, the robot’s video ...
Leiden researchers Professor Daniela Kraft and Mengshi Wei have created microscopic robots that move without sensors, ...
(Nanowerk Spotlight) Building robots that can effortlessly mimic the movements of insects on water has been a persistent challenge in robotics. The ability to move autonomously and efficiently in ...
(Nanowerk Spotlight) The next generation of robots may not look anything like the rigid, mechanical machines we’re used to. Instead, imagine a robot that moves more like an octopus or a human hand, ...
Researchers at Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar have developed a new control method that ...
A new type of soft robot can crawl like a worm, climb cables, and suddenly snap into a completely different shape to move in a new direction—all controlled by a single air input. This breakthrough, ...
Like new and protective parents, engineers watched as the TETWalker robot successfully traveled across the floor at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. Robots of this type will ...
