Despite how advanced robots have become, getting them to feel the way humans do is an incredibly complex challenge.

For the first time, engineers have digitally recreated the complex muscular architecture of the octopus arm and its unique movements, which opens the door to developing soft robotics with ...

A research team in South Korea has developed a soft robot named Octoid that can mimic the movement and behavior of an octopus in its natural habitat. The robot's "triple-in-one" system enables it to ...

The KR-1 robot is an autonomous humanoid warehouse robot designed for pick-and-place and material handling. With dual arms, a ...

Inspired by the electric shock capabilities of electric eels, scientists have developed a soft, stretchable “jelly” battery ideal for wearable devices or soft robotics, according to a new paper ...

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 ...

A team of researchers provides a perspective on the role that soft actuators and energy harvesters play in building mechatronic devices ...

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 ...

When disaster strikes and buildings collapse, every second counts for emergency responders searching for survivors trapped beneath rubble. Traditional tools often fall short in these dangerous, ...
