A research paper by scientists at Tianjin University presented an earthworm-inspired multimodal pneumatic continuous soft robot enhanced by wire-winding transmission. The research paper, published on ...

Soft robotics has quickly moved from a niche research topic to a practical technology with real-world applications—from gentle grippers in ...

A kirigami-skinned soft robot powered by pneumatic muscles achieves crawling, steering and obstacle avoidance, advancing mobility for confined and rough terrain. (Nanowerk News) Limbless animals move ...

Engineers at Oxford University have developed a rapid, ultra-low-cost method for manufacturing soft robots using common lab equipment. The method has been published in Advanced Science. The new ...

A spinning 3D printer nozzle creates soft robots with built-in air channels that bend in programmed directions, turning flat printed structures into grippers and shape-shifting devices. (Nanowerk ...

One day, robots might navigate through your blood vessels to break up clots, deliver targeted chemotherapy or repair ruptured blood vessels more efficiently and effectively than existing tools, ...

It'll likely be a while before we have humanoid robots taking over our household chores, but what you can count on sooner is seeing more robots in industrial settings, like factories and warehouses.

Human-robot interaction (HRI) is becoming ubiquitous where both humans and robots perform tasks, while reliable robotic sensors are the prerequisite for efficient and safe HRI, especially in ...

[Tazer] built a small desktop-sized robotic arm, and it was more or less functional. However, he wanted to improve its ability to pick things up, and attaching a pneumatic gripper seemed like the ...
