Separately, the researchers also developed a soft gripper, which can be attached to a rigid robot. It was tested in the South ...

Researchers have created a tiny, shape-shifting robot that swims, crawls, and glides freely in the deep sea. Developed by a ...

Beyond medicine, the robot could also be valuable in industrial applications, such as navigating tight spaces where rigid robots would struggle. Its soft structure allows it to interact safely ...

Boston Dynamics’ Atlas has elevated robotics by mastering breakdance moves using motion capture and reinforcement learning.

Then, I had an epiphany: This design could translate to robotics, providing a flexible yet structurally sound alternative to today’s rigid robots. So my students and I got folding, creating paper ...

Scientists at the Institute of Technology, University of Tartu, have created a new kind of robot that can spin its own body parts and pathways, just like a spider spinning its web. This means that ...

Now, MIT engineers have taken a major step toward developing robots that replace rigid gears with something much softer – ...

Mounted on China's manned submersibles -- Shenhai Yongshi (Deep Sea Warrior) and Fendouzhe (Striver) -- this compact robot type has completed field tests in the Mariana Trench and other deep-sea ...
