Over the past decades, robotic systems have been rapidly advancing, fueled by the continuous introduction of more advanced ...

A soft robot design that demonstrates the desired motion of actuation in order to safely maneuver through the lung during bronchoscopy. During a bronchoscopy, a needle is passed through the airway to ...

Description: Soft Robotics is an emerging field that combines the principles of robotics and materials science to create robots that are flexible, adaptable, and safe to interact with humans and the ...

Finding new angles on an old artform, McGill researchers have increased the number of stable shapes that kirigami-based ...

We explore new ways for robots, vehicles, and other powered devices to achieve sophisticated autonomous behaviors, including locomotion on complex terrain, multi-fingered or nonprehensile manipulation ...

Holy cow. We’ve seen lots of soft robotics before, but this is some really cool stuff! You see, [Mike] is actually planning on building an inexpensive prosthetic robot hand using this technology.

An “octobot” less than three inches wide is changing the robotics landscape. The octobot is the world’s first completely soft, autonomous, and untethered robot. It is free of wires ...
