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

Ciqun Xu, researcher at the University of Bristol, says, “Think of the electro morphing gel robot and future soft robots as Swiss Army knives. Their ...

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, ...

A group of researchers in the UK has developed an unusual soft robot that moves without motors, joints, or hard components. Instead, it reacts to electric fields, allowing it to shift shape and move ...

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 ...

"Cephalopods use a complex system of muscles and nerves to exhibit dynamic control over the appearance and texture of their ...

Researchers create 'living' polymers that grow, degrow, and reprogram their properties after fabrication using reversible chemistry and light-activated catalysts.

Fauna Robotics is launching Sprout as a developer platform for humanoid robots. The robot features 29 degrees of freedom and ...
