If someone asked you to move like a robot and you responded with the fluid art of ballet, your audience would be baffled, yet ...

Engineers at Oxford University have developed a rapid, ultra-low-cost method for manufacturing soft robots using common lab ...

Engineers at the University of Oxford have developed a remarkably simple and inexpensive way to build soft robots. Using common laboratory tools and low-cost materials, the new method allows ...

Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., is pleased that Barbara Mazzolai, PhD, has been appointed the new Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the bimonthly journal Soft Robotics. Dr. Mazzolai joins Barry Trimmer, PhD, as part ...

Snakes may be best known for slithering. But consider that these animals also perform one of the most extreme feats of posture control found in nature: They can stand nearly straight upright on a ...

A research team develops 3D-printed pneumatic logic modules that control the movements of soft robots using only air pressure. These modules enable logical switching of the air flow and can thus ...

It bends, stretches, and slithers, just like a creature straight out of a Marvel movie. Researchers have developed a super agile robot that can shapeshift using a special electro-morphing gel, ...

The soft-bodied robot was created by postdoctoral scholar Yichen Zhai and colleagues, in the lab of Prof. Michael Tolley at UC San Diego's Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. It was 3D ...

According to its developers, the soft robot automatically bends, snaps and resets itself without a single electronic component, completing 188 continuous leaps in the lab. Source: ...

Conceptual overview of the vision-based ProTac sensing technology. ProTac can actively switch between proximity and tactile sensing modes, relying on input images captured by inner cameras and a soft ...
