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

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

This is Neo, the humanoid robot. It's billed as a personal assistant you can talk to and eventually rely on to take care of everyday tasks, such as loading the dishwasher and folding laundry. Neo ...

VANCOUVER, Wash. – Seeing robots made with soft, flexible parts in action appears to lower people’s anxiety about working with them or even being replaced by them. A Washington State University study ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

A new gelatinous robot that crawls, powered by nothing more than temperature change and clever design, brings "a kind of intelligence" to the field of soft robotics. The inchworm-inspired work is ...

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, ...

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 ...
