Researchers at Cornell University have been working on batteries that can 'flow' through the internal structures of robots, kind of like how blood in humans' veins powers our bodies. The team has been ...
A DARPA-sponsored initiative to build soft-bodied robots has led to some pretty impressive breakthroughs in robotics research, ranging from being able to access previously unreachable areas to ...
Pleurocystitid was a marine organism that existed almost 450 million years ago, long before the first dinosaurs. Scientists have now built a soft-bodied robotic replica of it, which could inspire new ...
Soft-bodied robotics have long been considered the next frontier in autonomous underwater exploration, offering solutions to challenges traditional machines can’t solve—namely, maneuverability, energy ...
LOS ANGELES - Harvard scientists have built a new type of flexible robot that is limber enough to wiggle and worm through tight spaces. It's the latest prototype in the growing field of soft-bodied ...
Robots that move, sense and even coordinate with one another usually bring to mind tangled wires, circuit boards and humming ...
Not even vaguely humanoid and still managing to land squarely in the middle of the Uncanny Valley, these crazy techno-tentacles from Stanford can grow and propel themselves like living vines.
