Perhaps our future overlords won’t be made up of electrical circuits after all but will instead be soft-bodied like ourselves. However, their design will have its origins in electrical analogues ...

How can programmed failure protocols help improve sheet-based fluidic devices, the latter of which have become a cornerstone ...

Soft robots are revolutionizing the world of technology. Advancing robotics in automation, a team of researchers from the ...

Singapore University of Technology and Design recently introduced an approach for the continuous upgrading of soft robots, which could in turn reduce electronic waste originating from the field of ...

An “octobot” less than three inches wide is changing the robotics landscape. The octobot is the world’s first completely soft, autonomous, and untethered robot. It is free of wires ...

Imagine a swarm of tiny robots, each about the size of the palm of your hand, spreading out over a wildfire-ravaged community ...

A soft robot design that demonstrates the desired motion of actuation in order to safely maneuver through the lung during bronchoscopy. During a bronchoscopy, a needle is passed through the airway to ...

But just because that’s the general design palette for robotics doesn ... And that’s where the field of soft robotics shines. Rather than a skeleton of machined aluminum and powerful electric ...

A new type of soft robot can crawl like a worm, climb cables, and suddenly snap into a completely different shape to move in a new direction—all controlled by a single air input. This breakthrough, ...
