Inspired by invertebrate organisms like jellyfish and earthworm, the research of soft robotics as alternatives to traditional rigid robots has made tremendous progress in recent years. Scientists are ...

Engineers are another step closer to developing soft robotics and wearable systems that mimic the ability of human and plant skin to detect and self-heal injuries. (Nanowerk News) A University of ...

Here’s the catch that’s dividing opinions: NEO has a brain that isn’t all its own. This robot relies on both AI and human ...

Robots that can sense touch and perceive temperature differences? An unexpected material might just make this a reality. Researchers are developing soft and intelligent sensor materials based on ...

The robotics industry has entered a phase that would’ve seemed like science fiction just a decade ago. Robots are no longer ...

On Wednesday, Clone Robotics released video footage of its Protoclone humanoid robot, a full-body machine that uses synthetic muscles to create unsettlingly human-like movements. In the video, the ...

IRON’s frame is modeled on a human spine and muscles. Its synthetic muscles can stretch and contract, giving it natural, ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed soft robots that are capable of navigating complex environments, such as mazes, without input from humans or computer software. Researchers from North Carolina State ...

Jacob Rosen is developing a wearable robotic “exoskeleton” that could enable a person to lift heavy objects with little effort. It’s a bit like the robotic armor that has long been a staple of ...
