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, ...

Robots that move, sense and even coordinate with one another usually bring to mind tangled wires, circuit boards and humming motors. In a new study from the University of Oxford, all of that ...

Soft robots made out of flexible, biocompatible materials are in high demand in industries from health care to manufacturing, ...

In a laboratory in Connecticut, a palm-sized silicone robot scrunches up its body to inch forward in a caterpillar-like motion. A brick tips over onto its leg, trapping it as it struggles to move on.

Researchers have developed an AI control system that enables soft robotic arms to learn a wide repertoire of motions and ...

A newly developed AI control system using neuron-inspired learning enables soft robotic arms to learn a broad set of motions ...

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 ...

Engineers at MIT have devised an ingenious new way to produce artificial muscles for soft robots that can flex in more than one direction, similar to the complex muscles in the human body. The team ...
