Soft robots that run on air instead of electricity are starting to behave less like simple inflatable toys and more like autonomous creatures. Built from flexible materials and intricate channels, ...

Despite their remarkable flexibility, today’s soft artificial muscles struggle to deliver meaningful force. This ...

AI-powered artificial muscles made from pliable materials are reshaping recovery, from stroke rehabilitation to prosthetic design. These machines help people regain motion, strength, and confidence. A ...

A spinning 3D printer nozzle creates soft robots with built-in air channels that bend in programmed directions, turning flat ...

Between this post about “soft robots,” those nanotube muscles we talked about earlier this week, and the last scene of Battlestar Galactica, I have no doubt that ...

McGill University engineers have developed new ultra-thin materials that can be programmed to move, fold and reshape ...

(Nanowerk News) Could robots, whose forms can be adapted to achieve almost any real-world task, soon be able to lend a hand in understanding the paleoecology tracing of extinct organisms? William ...

To reliably complete household chores, assemble products and tackle other manual tasks, robots should be able to adapt their ...

Researchers at Cornell University have been working on batteries that can 'flow' through the internal structures of robots, kind of like how blood in humans' veins powers our bodies. The team has been ...

I spent last week in Boston, meeting with several of the area’s top automation startups. Soft Robotics — based in nearby Bedford, Massachusetts — is one of those names that comes up a lot. As the ...
