Soft robotics is an emerging field in the robotic world with promising adaptability in navigating unstructured environments.

Harvard engineers have developed a new 3D printing technique that allows soft robots to ...

Harvard researchers have developed a 3D-printing method that could make it easier to build soft robots designed to bend, deform and grip in predictable ways.

Engineers propose a new quantitative framework to account for and predict the impact of temperature on the curing speed of platinum-catalyzed silicone elastomers. The findings could maximize ...

Researchers have developed a new soft robot design that engages in three simultaneous behaviors: rolling forward, spinning like a record, and following a path that orbits around a central point. The ...

HOUSTON – (March 18, 2024) – Soft robots use pliant materials such as elastomers to interact safely with the human body and other challenging, delicate objects and environments. A team of Rice ...

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 ...

Inspired by the electric shock capabilities of electric eels, scientists have developed a soft, stretchable “jelly” battery ideal for wearable devices or soft robotics, according to a new paper ...

It was just two years ago that a tiny robotic manta ray became the world's fastest-swimming soft-bodied robot. Well, one of its descendants has now smashed that record – and it uses less energy than ...

Fauna Robotics is launching Sprout as a developer platform for humanoid robots. The robot features 29 degrees of freedom and ...
