Researchers at the AMOLF institute have created a revolutionary soft robot without electronic components that moves using ...

However, all this intelligence is concentrated in the software—the brain—and no comparable focus is placed on the mechanical design—the body. As such, robots are pretty much like puppets.

A team of researchers created Morpho, an open-source programmable environment that enables researchers and engineers to conduct shape optimization and design for soft materials. Applications can ...

A research team from AMOLF in Amsterdam created a soft robot that walks, hops, and swims — all without a brain, electronics, or AI. Just soft tubes, air, and some clever physics.

The fastest-ever swimming soft robot has been inspired by manta rays. The record-breaking robot has fins shaped like those of a manta ray and is made of a material that is stable when the fins are ...

Into the wild. The first problem with Comoretto’s robot was power consumption. The initial design that his team tested in their lab was tethered, and the air was pumped to the limbs through a ...

But what is particularly fascinating about this biodegradable soft robot is that the pig gelatin used here is a sensor that changes electrical resistance whenever the arm bends.
