Researchers from the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), the National University of Singapore (NUS) and Queensland University of Technology (QUT) have made groundbreaking ...

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 actuation technology underpins high compliance, integration, and multifunctionality in soft robots, and has received growing attention in recent years. Among various soft actuators, twisted ...

Swedish researchers have developed a breakthrough 3D printing method to create soft actuators. These dielectric elastic ...

Using common kitchen ingredients such as citric acid and sodium bicarbonate, scientists have created an edible pneumatic battery and valve system to power soft robots. Subscribe to our newsletter for ...

And it’s worth thinking about exactly how remarkable it is that the new humanoid robots are able to replicate the smooth, fluid, organic movements of humans and other animals, because the majority of ...

Soft robotics is poised to revolutionize industries with its flexibility and adaptability. This Collection will highlight original research on the design, fabrication, and application of soft robotic ...

The method, described in Advanced Materials, replaces the slow, multi-step molding and casting process that traditionally defines soft robotics. Researchers have figured out how to 3D-print ...

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 ...

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 ...
