Underwater octopuses change their body color and texture in the blink of an eye to blend perfectly into their surroundings ...

Robots now see the world with an ease that once belonged only to science fiction. They can recognize objects, navigate ...

Imagine having a continuum soft robotic arm bend around a bunch of grapes or broccoli, adjusting its grip in real time as it ...

A research team in South Korea has developed a soft robot named Octoid that can mimic the movement and behavior of an octopus ...

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

Analog cameras are nowhere near as efficient as biological eyes. If you’ve ever handled a single-lens reflex (SLR) camera, especially if it had a zoom lens attached, you know how heavy they are, and ...

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 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 ...

In the world of robotics, we’ve often seen robots rely on their mechanical hands to pick up and manipulate objects. But that approach doesn’t quite capture the full essence of how humans interact with ...

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, ...

The research team led by Dr. Dae-Yoon Kim at the Functional Composite Materials Research Center of the Korea Institute of ...
