Zhejiang University researchers build a flexible robotic hand that literally “sees around corners,” combining deep learning ...

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 ...

This year, software leads the stack, robotics mirrors market conditions and AI is tested against reality. Exotec’s Arthur ...

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 ...

Fluid robot motion is the result of design choices among five options including pneumatics and strain wave gears.

Ishikawa, Japan-- Soft robotics is an emerging field in the robotic world with promising adaptability in navigating unstructured environments. Where traditional robots struggle with unpredictable ...

Skild AI Inc., a startup that develops artificial intelligence software for robots, has raised $1.4 billion from a group of ...

Until now, when scientists and engineers have developed soft robots inspired by organisms, they’ve focused on modern-day living examples. For instance, we previously reported on soft robot ...

It was just two years ago that a tiny robotic manta ray became the world's fastest-swimming soft-bodied robot. Well, one of its descendants has now smashed that record – and it uses less energy than ...

Robots are becoming increasingly integrated into everyday environments—from homes and hospitals to factories and farms. However, safely operating around humans requires more than strength or speed.
