Device can place an emergency breathing tube in the trachea faster than medical personnel can, even those with extensive ...

VANCOUVER, Wash. – Seeing robots made with soft, flexible parts in action appears to lower people’s anxiety about working with them or even being replaced by them. A Washington State University study ...

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 ...

Soft robotics is poised to revolutionize industries with its flexibility and adaptability. This Collection will highlight original research on the design, fabrication, and application of soft robotic ...

While there are many potential uses for soft-bodied robots, the things are still typically only built in small experimental batches. Scottish scientists are out to change that, with a ...

A new gelatinous robot that crawls, powered by nothing more than temperature change and clever design, brings "a kind of intelligence" to the field of soft robotics. The inchworm-inspired work is ...

A tiny, soft, flexible robot that can crawl through earthquake rubble to find trapped victims or travel inside the human body to deliver medicine may seem like science fiction, but an international ...

Humanoid robots have entered the public consciousness and remain at the center of discussions about the future of work in warehouses and factories alike-but they may not be the ultimate form factor ...

Engineers have created a soft robot capable of detecting when and where it was damaged -- and then healing itself on the spot. Cornell University engineers have created a soft robot capable of ...

Fossils of a marine animal that lived 500 million years ago, combined with computer simulations, informed the design of a new soft robot. ROCKVILLE, MD – Soft robotics is the study of creating robots ...
