Imagine having a continuum soft robotic arm bend around a bunch of grapes or broccoli, adjusting its grip in real time as it lifts the object. Unlike traditional rigid robots that generally aim to ...

It has been a long endeavor to create biohybrid robots – machines powered by lab-grown muscle as potential actuators. The flexibility of biohybrid robots could allow them to squeeze and twist through ...

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 ...

One day, robots might navigate through your blood vessels to break up clots, deliver targeted chemotherapy or repair ruptured blood vessels more efficiently and effectively than existing tools, ...

Inspired by natural organisms, we developed a bionic soft robot with triple responsiveness to temperature, humidity, and magnetic fields. This robot is capable of rapid actuation in diverse ...

Robotic technology is advancing rapidly, and researchers are exploring new ways to make robots more functional and environmentally friendly. One breakthrough comes from scientists at Westlake ...

A magnetic marker is installed with the metal clip at the suspected lesion during the endoscopic examination. Before operation, a capsule containing the soft robots with Cy5 is taken. The soft robots ...

A humanoid learned to control its facial motors by watching itself in a mirror before imitating human lip movement from ...

While there are many useful questions to ask when encountering a new robot, “can I eat it” is generally not one of them. I say ‘generally,’ because edible robots are actually a thing—and not just ...

Using paper coated with silicon resin and iron particles, researchers created an untethered soft robot that can move without any electronics. This magnetically controlled device can detect heavy metal ...
