The next generation of soft robots might be folding and sliding as effortlessly as living tissue, say a team of engineers who have created “magnetic muscles” with 3D printing. Filling elastic, ...

“The biggest challenge really was to make it smart,” remarked Huanyu “Larry” Cheng, James L. Henderson, Jr. Memorial Associate Professor of Engineering Science and Mechanics at Penn State, during ...

Origami isn’t just art anymore. A team of researchers at North Carolina State University has developed a new 3D printing technique that gives origami robots a life of their own, thanks to paper-thin ...

A new 3-D printing technique can create paper-thin "magnetic muscles," which can be applied to origami structures to make them move. By infusing rubber-like elastomers with materials called ...

Locomotive magnetic soft robots are categorized based on their structural characteristics into one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D), three-dimensional (3D), and fluidic types. Recently, Dr.

Scientists have developed a single-cell green microalgae coated with magnetic material. This miniature robot was put to the test: would the microalgae with its magnetic coating be able to swim through ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at the Technical University of Darmstadt and the Helmholtz Centre Dresden-Rossendorf have developed a revolutionary technology: flexible robot wings that are moved by ...

Scientists from University of Macau designed a novel multi-section magnetic soft robot maneuvered by an associated collaborative multirobot navigation system. A research paper by scientists at the ...
