Soft robots made out of flexible, biocompatible materials are in high demand in industries from health care to manufacturing, ...

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 ...

Humanoid robots are moving out of labs and into living rooms, just as aging populations and caregiver shortages are straining home health systems. The next wave is not the rigid metal machines of ...

A new humanoid robot named Sprout, developed by Fauna Robotics, is making its debut. Unlike sleek and powerful-looking ...

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 ...

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

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I'm a senior tech contributor who writes about science and technology MIT CSAIL researchers have developed a new system that ...

The University of the Witwatersrand ( Wits) recently held a rare course in the field of soft robotics in South Africa at its electrical engineering school, thanks to an international expert from the ...

Engineers at MIT have devised an ingenious new way to produce artificial muscles for soft robots that can flex in more than one direction, similar to the complex muscles in the human body. The team ...

The use of robotics has gained popularity in recent years partly due to its minimally invasive surgery capabilities and potential for improved outcomes. From 2005 to 2012, the use of robotics in the ...
