Soft robots that run on air instead of electricity are starting to behave less like simple inflatable toys and more like ...

Engineers at MIT have devised an ingenious new way to produce artificial muscles for soft robots that can flex in more than one direction, similar to the complex muscles in the human body. The team ...

While there are many potential uses for soft-bodied robots, the things are still typically only built in small experimental batches. Scottish scientists are out to change that, with a ...

AI-powered artificial muscles made from pliable materials are reshaping recovery, from stroke rehabilitation to prosthetic design. These machines help people regain motion, strength, and confidence. A ...

Soft robots that power themselves from their surroundings are moving from lab curiosity to strategic technology, promising machines that can swim the deepest oceans, survive the vacuum of space, and ...

Wisson Robotics has showcased its Pliabot-based robotics technology, which is designed to offer upgraded functionality compared to traditional rigid-body robots. Unlike rigid robotics that relies on ...

Locomotive magnetic soft robots are categorized based on their structural characteristics into one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D), three-dimensional (3D), and fluidic types. Recently, Dr.
