Researchers developed a multifunctional fluidic unit for soft robots, integrating valve, sensor, and actuator roles to ...

Led by Dr. Lin Cao from the university’s School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, the group has developed a new way ...

Engineers propose a new quantitative framework to account for and predict the impact of temperature on the curing speed of platinum-catalyzed silicone elastomers. The findings could maximize ...

Soft robotics is an emerging field in the robotic world with promising adaptability in navigating unstructured environments.

Researchers have developed a new soft robot design that engages in three simultaneous behaviors: rolling forward, spinning like a record, and following a path that orbits around a central point. The ...

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 ...

Pop culture has often depicted robots as cold, metallic, and menacing, built for domination, not compassion. But at Georgia ...

One of the first real-world applications is a prosthetic glove powered by artificial muscles (published in ACS Nano, 2025), a device that behaves more like a helping hand than a mechanical tool.

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. A new aquatic robot inspired by Manta rays has broken the world ...

Today's robots may not be the hospitable humanoids or shape-shifting Autobots of past imagination, but engineers are well on their way to producing machines that can walk, swim, crawl and climb as ...
