It’s not just cute: It’s a breakthrough in soft robotics and design, requiring no external power supply at all. Imagine a robot. But instead of sleek metal on wheels, with an elaborate blueprint of ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Pop culture has often depicted robots as cold, metallic, and menacing, built for domination, not compassion. But at Georgia Tech, the future of robotics is softer, smarter, and designed to help.

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.

Design engineers in most industries are looking for smart, programmable materials. But finding solutions that are scalable and adaptive to different environments is always a challenge. The challenges ...

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 ...

Development kits for robotics and intelligent machines are helping designers incorporate artificial intelligence, machine learning (ML) and new connectivity technologies like 5G to not only speed up ...
