A flexible magnetic soft robot using magnetorheological fluids navigates the gastrointestinal tract, folds to fit narrow ...

EPFL researchers have developed a customizable soft robotic system that uses compressed air to produce shape changes, vibrations, and other haptic, or tactile, feedback. The device holds promise for ...

A team led by Northwestern University’s Sam Kriegman built an AI system that designed a walking robot from scratch in seconds, then manufactured the result and watched it move across a lab bench. The ...

Gastrointestinal tract diseases affect millions worldwide, and traditional drug delivery methods suffer from low targeting efficiency and potential ...

When you think of tracked robots, you might think of bomb disposal robots or others used in military applications. You probably haven’t seen anything quite like this, however—it’s a “reconfigurable ...

Northwestern University engineers have developed the first modular robots with athletic intelligence. They can be combined ...

Soft robotics is poised to revolutionize industries with its flexibility and adaptability. This Collection will highlight original research on the design, fabrication, and application of soft robotic ...

Stuttgart – Scientists at the Max-Planck-Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS) have developed hexagon-shaped robotic components, called modules, that can be snapped together LEGO-style into ...

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 ...
