Researchers at Cornell University have been working on batteries that can 'flow' through the internal structures of robots, ...

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 ...

Cornell University researchers are building soft robots with "robot blood" that is both hydraulic fluid that provides motive ...

A robot that employs the attributes of living beings rather than an android enclosed in metal. Soft robots do not necessarily look like real creatures, although some may. However, they emulate the ...

While reconfigurable soft robots are still in their infancy ... Their machine-learning model uses images of the robot's ...

Researchers at North Carolina State University have created a soft robot that moves in a distinctly caterpillar-like manner. As detailed in the research paper in Science Advances by [Shuang Wu ...

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 ...

In the same way that terrestrial life evolved from ocean swimmers to land walkers, soft robots are progressing, too, thanks to recent Cornell research in battery development and design. The worm and ...

Manta ray fins have inspired the design of a soft robot that can swim faster than its record-breaking predecessor. The new swimming robot was engineered by researchers at NC State University and is ...
