Harvard researchers have developed a 3D-printing method that could make it easier to build soft robots designed to bend, deform and grip in predictable ways.

But that’s not how living creatures work. While the overwhelming majority of macroscopic living beings contain some sort of ...

Over on their YouTube channel [Science Buddies] shows us how to embed LEDs in soft robots. Soft robots can be made entirely or partially from silicone. In the video you see an example of a claw-like ...

Phase-change actuation has been revived for the era of untethered, electrically driven soft robots. Our team at the University of Coimbra have developed a phase transition soft actuator designed to ...

Researchers at a Chinese university have built a soft, human-inspired robot that can physically grow and shrink on command, mimicking the way human bones elongate during development. The robot, called ...

Cornell University researchers are building soft robots with “robot blood” that is both hydraulic fluid that provides motive force and at the same time a battery that stores and delivers energy ...

Although soft-bodied robots themselves can be fairly simple, low-cost devices, they typically require complex onboard electronics to control their locomotion. Such is not the case with a new bot, ...

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 ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I'm a senior tech contributor who writes about science and technology MIT CSAIL researchers have developed a new system that ...

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

Julian is a contributor and former staff writer at CNET. He's covered a range of topics, such as tech, crypto travel, sports and commerce. His past work has appeared at print and online publications, ...
