The flexible material acts as an “artificial muscle,” enabling robots to move more naturally and safely than traditional ...

Researchers have developed a soft robotic skin that enables vine robots that are just a few millimeters wide to navigate ...

C artwheel Robotics is developing a humanoid robot called “Yogi”, which is designed to move naturally, perform household ...

It sounds like something from a sci-fi film - but some scientists believe this clever new tech could help alleviate strains on the UK care system ...

Engineers at MIT have devised an ingenious new way to produce artificial muscles for soft robots that can flex in more than one direction, similar to the complex muscles in the human body. The team ...

Robots that can sense touch and perceive temperature differences? An unexpected material might just make this a reality. Researchers are developing soft and intelligent sensor materials based on ...

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 ...

Engineers from UNSW Sydney have developed a miniature and flexible soft robotic arm that could be used to 3D-print biomaterial directly onto organs inside a person's body. 3D-bioprinting is a process ...

As is the case with any other electrical device, the less energy that a robot uses to perform its assigned duties, the better. A new soft robotic gripper was created with this fact in mind, as it ...

Engineers are another step closer to developing soft robotics and wearable systems that mimic the ability of human and plant skin to detect and self-heal injuries. (Nanowerk News) A University of ...

In one campus laboratory, electrical engineering doctoral student Karthik Subramanian adds facial recognition and heart rate bio-signals into the mind of a 9-foot-tall robot. In another workshop, ...
