A team of researchers has created smart, advanced materials that will be the building blocks for a future generation of soft medical microrobots. These tiny robots have the potential to conduct ...

Everyday occurrences like snapping hair clips or clicking retractable pens feature a mechanical phenomenon known as ...

The field of robotics has transformed drastically in this century, with a special focus on soft robotics. In this context, ...

New metallic material for flexible soft robots Date: November 25, 2019 Source: National University of Singapore Summary: A team has created a material that is half as light as paper and highly ...

UCLA researchers have engineered a new material that can create robots more similar to living organisms. In a study published June 17, researchers from the He Lab at UCLA developed a material that ...

A soft robot that mimics a caterpillar by using liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) with paper-based electrodes to create ...

Researchers have printed liquid metal circuits onto a single piece of soft polymer to create an intelligent material that can curl under pressure or mechanical strain and expand when stretched.

The coolest, we think, is a little multi-legged robot that uses vacuum to ambulate across the bench. The paper, however, is behind a paywall. There are really two ideas here.

These soft robots are constructed using materials with more human-like features and properties, in the shape of the human hand with fingers to complete tasks.
