Using this new method, the researchers constructed a six-legged soft robot capable of walking 0.05 body lengths per second, along with being able to crouch, as well. But this is just a first step ...

A team of engineering researchers has made a fundamental advance in controlling so-called soft robots, using magnetic fields to remotely manipulate microparticle chains embedded in soft robotic ...

Researchers introduce magnetic soft robots for precision drug delivery, offering programmable control of multiple medications for more effective therapies.

A new machine-learning technique can train and control a reconfigurable soft robot that can dynamically change its shape to complete a task. The researchers also built a simulator that can ...

Robots are becoming increasingly integrated into everyday environments—from homes and hospitals to factories and farms.

Researchers have developed a soft robot capable of crawling like a worm, climbing cables, and rapidly changing shape to shift directions—all powered by a single air input.

MIT researchers have simulated a soft-bodied robot that turns rigid on demand. The advance may help broaden robots' range of tasks and allow for safe interactions with people, including in patient ...

Engineers at UC Riverside have unveiled an air-powered computer memory that can be used to control soft robots. The innovation overcomes one of the biggest obstacles to advancing soft robotics ...

Engineers from the University of California Riverside have revealed a new creation that is designed to control the movements of soft robots. The engineers revealed an air-powered computer memory ...

In a paper published earlier this week, the team highlights how magnetic fields can be used to control predetermined movements in the small soft robots, potentially paving the way for their use in ...
