Researchers have developed an AI control system that enables soft robotic arms to learn a wide repertoire of motions and ...

Soft robots that run on air instead of electricity are starting to behave less like simple inflatable toys and more like autonomous creatures. Built from flexible materials and intricate channels, ...

A research paper by scientists at Tianjin University presented an earthworm-inspired multimodal pneumatic continuous soft robot enhanced by wire-winding transmission. The research paper, published on ...

A spinning 3D printer nozzle creates soft robots with built-in air channels that bend in programmed directions, turning flat ...

A kirigami-skinned soft robot powered by pneumatic muscles achieves crawling, steering and obstacle avoidance, advancing mobility for confined and rough terrain. (Nanowerk News) Limbless animals move ...

Soft robots are only as capable as the artificial muscles that drive them, and for years those muscles have forced a trade-off between strength and flexibility. A new magnetic polymer design is ...

(A) Robot’s body featuring anterior and posterior segments and 2 proximity sensors mounted on its head. (B) Demonstration of different deformation modalities and schematic of inflated chambers. (C) ...

It'll likely be a while before we have humanoid robots taking over our household chores, but what you can count on sooner is seeing more robots in industrial settings, like factories and warehouses.

[Tazer] built a small desktop-sized robotic arm, and it was more or less functional. However, he wanted to improve its ability to pick things up, and attaching a pneumatic gripper seemed like the ...
