A soft robot gripper changes shape to gently lift fragile objects and even humans, combining flexibility with surprising ...

Researchers from the US have turned sci-fi fantasy into engineering reality by designing a groundbreaking new robot that can expand, change shape, move, and follow electromagnetic commands all without ...

The GOAT has a fairly simple body. Viewed from above in its default shape, the robot sports a flat ring-like frame made up of two looped, intersecting, flexible fiberglass rods. Spaced equidistant ...

Imagine running on a cement footpath, and then suddenly through dry sand. Just to keep upright, you would have to slow down and change the way you run. In the same way, a walking robot would have to ...

Researchers in the US have developed a shape-shifting robot that, unlike traditional drones which must land before switching to ground mode, can transition seamlessly from air to land without missing ...

In Yu Gu’s Interactive Robotics Laboratory at WVU, doctoral student Trevor Smith observes Loopy, a multicellular robot that is learning to respond organically and autonomously to its environment. West ...

This shape-changing robot just got a lot smaller. In a new study, engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder debuted mCLARI, a 2-centimeter-long modular robot that can passively change its shape ...

Robots are super interesting, but you probably shouldn’t start learning about them with a full-sized industrial SCARA arm or anything. Better to learn with something smaller and simpler to understand.

(Nanowerk News) Coming to a tight spot near you: CLARI, the little, squishable robot that can passively change its shape to squeeze through narrow gaps—with a bit of inspiration from the world of bugs ...

Italian researchers have created a novel 4D-printed biodegradable 'seed robot' that changes shape in response to changes in humidity and can navigate through the soil. The device has great potential ...
