Engineers at Harvard have developed a 3D printing technique that produces soft robotic structures capable of twisting and bending in predictable patterns when inflated with air. The method, which ...

And it’s worth thinking about exactly how remarkable it is that the new humanoid robots are able to replicate the smooth, fluid, organic movements of humans and other animals, because the majority of ...

A research paper by scientists at Tianjin University presented an earthworm-inspired multimodal pneumatic continuous soft robot enhanced by wire-winding transmission. The research paper, published on ...

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

Researchers at a Chinese university have built a soft, human-inspired robot that can physically grow and shrink on command, mimicking the way human bones elongate during development. The robot, called ...

A kirigami-skinned soft robot powered by pneumatic muscles achieves crawling, steering and obstacle avoidance, advancing mobility for confined and rough terrain. (Nanowerk News) Limbless animals move ...

(A) Robot’s body featuring anterior and posterior segments and 2 proximity sensors mounted on its head. (B) Demonstration of different deformation modalities and schematic of inflated chambers. (C) ...

A spinning 3D printer nozzle creates soft robots with built-in air channels that bend in programmed directions, turning flat printed structures into grippers and shape-shifting devices. (Nanowerk ...

It'll likely be a while before we have humanoid robots taking over our household chores, but what you can count on sooner is seeing more robots in industrial settings, like factories and warehouses.
