Soft robots that run on air instead of electricity are starting to behave less like simple inflatable toys and more like ...

The Genesis Project represents a significant leap forward in the convergence of generative AI and physics simulation, reshaping the way robots are trained and developed. By integrating innovative ...

While there are many potential uses for soft-bodied robots, the things are still typically only built in small experimental batches. Scottish scientists are out to change that, with a ...

Have you ever wondered what it would take to train a robot to walk, grasp objects, or navigate a cluttered room with the same ease as a human? For many, the idea of teaching robots these complex tasks ...

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 ...

Researchers at MIT CSAIL have created a new soft robotic system, RoboGrocery that uses vision technology and soft tactile sensors to determine how to pack an item without damage. Researchers from ...

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 ...

Roboticists have been motivated by a long-standing goal to make robots safer. The new actuator could be used to develop inexpensive, soft, flexible robots which are safer and more practical for ...

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 ...

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, ...
