If you're making a small robot that can explore tight spaces, it would be good if that device could also shimmy its way through narrow gaps. An experimental new robot can do just that, by emulating a ...

When we think of soft-bodied robots, we tend to picture things that slowly crawl like caterpillars. A new one is able to move much quicker, though, by leaping like a cheetah. The world's fastest land ...

Researchers have developed a super agile robot that can shapeshift using a special electro-morphing gel, mimicking the fluidity and adaptability of the comic book anti-hero Venom.

Pop culture has often depicted robots as cold, metallic, and menacing, built for domination, not compassion. But at Georgia ...

There are some tasks that traditional robots -- the rigid and metallic kind -- simply aren't cut out for. Soft-bodied robots, on the other hand, may be able to interact with people more safely or slip ...

Researchers have invented a new super agile robot that can cleverly change shape thanks to amorphous characteristics akin to ...

Perhaps you've just conjured a machine with a rigid, metallic exterior. While robots armored with hard exoskeletons are common, they're not always ideal. Soft-bodied robots, inspired by fish or other ...

I'm officially convinced scientists are competing to make the creepiest, most skin-crawling robots on Earth. The latest designer robot is the creepiest and crawliest of them all. It looks like a ...

Professor of Biology Barry Trimmer highlighted the groundbreaking capabilities of his newly developed soft-bodied robot during the Dean's Faculty Forum in the Coolidge Room in Ballou Hall on Monday ...

Tufts science professors Barry Trimmer and David Kaplan never expected their work to be featured in an art museum. But their innovative technology, the world's first soft-bodied robot, is currently on ...

Researchers developed a deep learning neural network to aid the design of soft-bodied robots. The algorithm optimizes the arrangement of sensors on the robot, enabling it to complete tasks as ...
