Led by Dr. Lin Cao from the university’s School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, the group has developed a new way ...

Researchers have developed a soft robot capable of crawling like a worm, climbing cables, and rapidly changing shape to shift directions—all powered by a single air input. Soft robots are flexible but ...

Robots aren't always the most delicate of machines when handling fragile objects. They don't have the lightness of touch of ...

A team led by the University of Oxford has developed a new class of soft robots that operate without electronics, motors, or ...

A new machine-learning technique can train and control a reconfigurable soft robot that can dynamically change its shape to complete a task. The researchers also built a simulator that can evaluate ...

In a recent study published in Advanced Intelligent Systems, an international team of researchers led by Cornell University examined the potential for creating soft robots that demonstrate greater ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Precision in drug delivery has long posed a significant challenge to the medical field. Relying on the body’s circulatory system to transport medications often results in ...

A team of researchers at the University of California San Diego has created a soft robotic skin that enables millimeter-wide ...

Anthropic believes AI models will increasingly reach into the physical world. To understand where things are headed, it asked ...

Researchers have demonstrated a caterpillar-like soft robot that can move forward, backward and dip under narrow spaces. The caterpillar-bot's movement is driven by a novel pattern of silver nanowires ...
