Wearing a flower brooch that blooms before your eyes sounds like magic. KAIST researchers have made it real with robotic muscles. Researchers have developed an ultrathin, artificia... Read more
3D-printed active hinges change shape in response to heat The majority of soft robots today rely on external power and control, keeping them tethered to off-board systems or rigged... Read more
A versatile, portable exosuit that assists both walking and running highlights the potential for lightweight and non-restrictive wearable robots outside the lab Between walking at... Read more
Scientists at EPFL have developed a tiny pump that could play a big role in the development of autonomous soft robots, lightweight exoskeletons and smart clothing. Flexible, silent... Read more
Researchers from North Carolina State University and Elon University have developed a technique that allows them to remotely control the movement of soft robots, lock them into pos... Read more
A robotic gripping arm that uses engineered bacteria to “taste” for a specific chemical has been developed by engineers at the University of California, Davis, and Carnegie Mellon... Read more
A soft ring oscillator gives soft robots new movements without the hard parts Soft robots can’t always compete with the hard. Their rigid brethren dominate assembly lines, perform ... Read more
Untethered robots suffer from a stamina problem. A possible solution: a circulating liquid – “robot blood” – to store energy and power its applications for sophisticated, long-dura... Read more
Soft digital logic emulates the thought process of an electronic computer and the feel of a human hand A soft robot, attached to a balloon and submerged in a transparent column of... Read more
