Slime-like artificial muscle reshapes on command, heals after damage and turns one robot into many
Breaking away from conventional robots that perform only predefined functions once fabricated, researchers have developed a ...
Engineers have developed a new soft, flexible device that makes robots move by expanding and contracting -- just like a human muscle. To demonstrate their new device, called an actuator, the ...
Soft robots have long promised something rigid machines cannot easily deliver. They offer the ability to bend, flex, and ...

Elephant trunk inspires the universal robot gripper
EU-funded researchers have developed a soft robot that moves like an elephant’s trunk – precise enough to pick fresh fruit, yet powerful enough to help lift a patient.By Michael AllenLucia Beccai, an ...
Soft robotics has been a promising field of research for years, but these squidgy and flexible creations have been held back by the absence of one important characteristic: strength. Now, scientists ...
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 ...
