In the same way that terrestrial life evolved from ocean swimmers to land walkers, soft robots are progressing, too, thanks ...

video: Individually, California blackworms live an unremarkable life eating microorganisms in ponds and serving as tropical fish food for aquarium enthusiasts. But together, tens, hundreds, or ...

Scientists pushing the frontiers of soft robotics continue to find inspiration in the animal kingdom, with the latest examples that move like inchworms and earthworms deploying some novel sensor ...

It’s not just cute: It’s a breakthrough in soft robotics and design, requiring no external power supply at all. Imagine a robot. But instead of sleek metal on wheels, with an elaborate blueprint of ...

America’s top minds are apparently putting their all into developing space technology — but we’ve gotta admit, we wouldn’t really have had this in mind. As the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ...

Researchers at Cornell University on Monday showcased a pair of bio-inspired robotics running on a hydraulic fluid-powered battery. The redox flow battery (RFB) also mimics biological functions, as it ...
