A paper crane that flaps its wings without a single motor inside it sounds like a magic trick. But engineers at Princeton ...

While there are many potential uses for soft-bodied robots, the things are still typically only built in small experimental batches. Scottish scientists are out to change that, with a ...

Researchers have demonstrated miniature soft hydraulic actuators that can be used to control the deformation and motion of soft robots that are less than a millimeter thick. The researchers have also ...

Roboticists have been motivated by a long-standing goal to make robots safer. The new actuator could be used to develop inexpensive, soft, flexible robots which are safer and more practical for ...

The earthworm robot falls into the field of “soft robotics,” where engineers and developers design robots with soft and flexible bodies, usually comprised of silicone or rubber. “Soft robotics is a ...

If someone asked you to move like a robot and you responded with the fluid art of ballet, your audience would be baffled, yet technically, you would be right. Robots are famous for their ...
