If someone asked you to move like a robot and you responded with the fluid art of ballet, your audience would be baffled, yet ...

Snakes are best known for slithering, but some species can also lift large portions of their bodies off the ground—rising ...

A new machine-learning technique can train and control a reconfigurable soft robot that can dynamically change its shape to complete a task. The researchers also built a simulator that can evaluate ...

A team from the University of Sheffield has turned a long-standing weakness in robotics into a key strength. Led by Dr. Lin Cao from the university’s School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Precision in drug delivery has long posed a significant challenge to the medical field. Relying on the body’s circulatory system to transport medications often results in ...

Most robots rely on complex control systems, AI-powered or otherwise, that govern their movement. These centralized electronic brains need time to react to changes in their environment and produce ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Soft robotics is designed to create flexible, adaptable devices capable of safe interaction with humans and delicate objects. This field has captivated researchers and engineers ...

The authors with their robot. From left to right: Alberto Comoretto, Harmannus A.H. Schomaker, Johannes T.B. Overvelde. A research team from AMOLF in Amsterdam created a soft robot that walks, hops, ...

A research team develops 3D-printed pneumatic logic modules that control the movements of soft robots using only air pressure. These modules enable logical switching of the air flow and can thus ...
