Researchers have developed an AI control system that enables soft robotic arms to learn a wide repertoire of motions and tasks once, then adjust to new scenarios on the fly without needing retraining ...

Harvard engineers have developed a new 3D printing technique that allows soft robots to ...

A newly developed AI control system using neuron-inspired learning enables soft robotic arms to learn a broad set of motions ...

Humanoid robots look impressive and have enormous potential to change our daily lives, but they still have a reputation for being clunky. They're also heavy and stiff, and if they fall, they can ...

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, ...

The humanoid robot GrowHR can change its size via air-filled legs. Due to the air chambers, it can also walk on water.

The method, described in Advanced Materials, replaces the slow, multi-step molding and casting process that traditionally defines soft robotics. Researchers have figured out how to 3D-print ...

The robot utilises ultra-lightweight electrodes to respond rapidly to surrounding electric fields, which trigger stretching, ...

Fauna Robotics’ Sprout encourages human interactions with an expressive face and a soft foam body.

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 ...
