A new jellyfish-inspired soft robot can move through water at record speeds while carrying ...

Soft robots are often designed for a single task. Once their structure and internal wiring are set, their range of motion is ...

Researchers at Cornell University have been working on batteries that can 'flow' through the internal structures of robots, kind of like how blood in humans' veins powers our bodies. The team has been ...

Ishikawa, Japan-- Soft robotics is an emerging field in the robotic world with promising adaptability in navigating unstructured environments. Where traditional robots struggle with unpredictable ...

EU-funded researchers have developed a soft robot that moves like an elephant’s trunk – precise enough to pick fresh fruit, yet powerful enough to help lift a patient.By Michael AllenLucia Beccai, an ...

HydroSpread, a breakthrough fabrication method, lets scientists build ultrathin soft robots directly on water. These tiny, insect-inspired machines could transform robotics, healthcare, and ...

Cornell University researchers are building soft robots with “robot blood” that is both hydraulic fluid that provides motive force and at the same time a battery that stores and delivers energy ...

While there are many potential uses for soft-bodied robots, the things are still typically only built in small experimental batches. Scottish scientists are out to change that, with a ...

Scientists inspired by the octopus's nervous system have developed a robot that can decide how to move or grip objects by sensing its environment. Scientists inspired by the octopus's nervous system ...

Over on their YouTube channel [Science Buddies] shows us how to embed LEDs in soft robots. Soft robots can be made entirely or partially from silicone. In the video you see an example of a claw-like ...
