A British research team has developed an autonomous snake-like robot that can reach the 'human lung', which is difficult even for doctors, announced in Soft Robotics, a robotics journal. With this ...

Mobile inspection robots crawl over pipelines on magnetic wheels and identify critical points using special sensors. What sounds like science fiction has long since become reality, but the moment that ...

Scientists from University of Macau designed a novel multi-section magnetic soft robot maneuvered by an associated collaborative multirobot navigation system. A research paper by scientists at the ...

A bizarre 'magnetic tentacle robot' that can pass into the narrow tubes of the lungs to take tissue samples could help save lives, a new study shows. Experts at the University of Leeds have created ...

As if the robot uprising wasn’t inevitable enough, scientists engineered a spider-like bot that can quickly scurry up walls using magnetic feet. In a study published Dec. 14 in the journal Science ...

How do you get a robot to inspect a tank with high vertical walls? If the walls are made of certain kinds of metal, you just stick a magnet on it. But many large tanks utilized in the food & beverage ...

Inspecting generators has always been a time-consuming and expensive job, yet one that needs to be done at regular intervals. An impressive new visual inspection robot can save owners many days of ...
