Researchers have developed a new resilient actuator that could allow soft robots to operate ...

A paper crane that flaps its wings without a single motor inside it sounds like a magic trick. But engineers at Princeton University have built exactly that: a soft robot, constructed entirely through ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A new soft robotic wearable uses machine learning to restore arm strength and independence after stroke and ALS. (CREDIT: Harvard ...

With their ability to shapeshift and manipulate delicate objects, soft robots could work as medical implants, deliver drugs ...

This approach removes a major limitation in soft robotics. Traditional fluid-driven systems rely on “heavy, bulky, oftentimes ...

Because the pumps and actuators are manufactured in a fiber-like geometry, they can be arranged in various configurations ...

Embodying intelligence into materials requires engineering systems that can autonomously sense, adapt, and respond to environmental stimuli, similar to the dynamic behaviours of living organisms.

To be safely and reliably deployed in outer space, underwater and in other extreme environments, robots need to be able to ...

Researchers developed a soft robotic skin that enables vine robots that are just a few millimeters wide to navigate convoluted paths and fragile environments. To accomplish this, the researchers ...

As more procedures migrate from hospitals to outpatient settings, robotic surgery is following suit — but not all technologies are designed with ASCs in mind. At Becker’s 31st Annual Meeting, ...

For many people living with neurodegenerative diseases or recovering from stroke, daily routines can become exhausting challenges. Simple actions like brushing teeth, raising a fork, or combing hair ...
