If someone asked you to move like a robot and you responded with the fluid art of ballet, your audience would be baffled, yet ...

Engineers at Oxford University have developed a rapid, ultra-low-cost method for manufacturing soft robots using common lab equipment. The method has been published in Advanced Science. The new ...

Soft robotics has quickly moved from a niche research topic to a practical technology with real-world applications—from gentle grippers in ...

Researchers who created a soft robot that could navigate simple mazes without human or computer direction have now built on that work, creating a 'brainless' soft robot that can navigate more complex ...

(A) FEA-based numerical simulation to optimize the actuator’s geometry and actuation parameters. (B) Using FFF technology, the molds are printed in rigid material and the sacrificial cores are in a ...

Engineers propose a new quantitative framework to account for and predict the impact of temperature on the curing speed of platinum-catalyzed silicone elastomers. The findings could maximize ...

A research paper by scientists at the University of Coimbra proposed a soft robotic hand that composed of soft actuator cores and an exoskeleton, featuring a multimaterial design aided by finite ...

A robotic hand with fingernail-like tips lets robots peel fruit, open lids and pick up thin, flat objects with more precise, human-like dexterity.

Fast forward nine years, and the consortium Overvelde and Kluin have assembled, in the hope of making the soft artificial ...

Snakes may be best known for slithering. But consider that these animals also perform one of the most extreme feats of posture control found in nature: They can stand nearly straight upright on a ...
