Researchers have developed a 3D printing strategy to create programmable artificial muscles. Harvard’s SEAS ...

Engineers from Harvard University have developed a soft, wearable robotic device for movement assistance. The robot combines machine learning and a physics-based model to learn each user’s unique ...

Advances in robot design, actuation, and control have benefitted from biological inspiration, which has perhaps most influenced the soft robotics community. Furthermore, many scientists interested in ...

Scientists turned simple knots into tiny robots that jump, spin, and plant seeds, offering a new tool for ecosystem restoration.

The fastest-ever swimming soft robot has been inspired by manta rays. A team of American researchers beat its own speed record by drawing inspiration from the iconic sea creatures to improve their ...

If someone asked you to move like a robot and you responded with the fluid art of ballet, your audience would be baffled, yet technically, you would be right. Robots are famous for their ...

Pleurocystitid was a marine organism that existed almost 450 million years ago, long before the first dinosaurs. Scientists have now built a soft-bodied robotic replica of it, which could inspire new ...

For many people living with neurodegenerative diseases or recovering from stroke, daily routines can become exhausting challenges. Simple actions like brushing teeth, raising a fork, or combing hair ...

A tunable initial coiling structure soft robot (ICSBot) has been developed by combining theoretical calculations, finite element analysis, and direct ink writing technology. By mimicking the ...
