The engineers previously demonstrated this concept in a soft robot inspired by a lionfish back in 2019. Now, they've developed a worm and a jellyfish that are powered by a circulating hydraulic ...

Cornell University researchers are building soft robots with “robot blood” that is both hydraulic fluid that provides motive force and at the same time a battery that stores and delivers ...

As a result, robots can easily become obsolete and outdated as newer systems emerge. "Our group has been actively researching soft robotics for several years, with a particular focus on developing ...

An increasing number of robots need to interact safely with humans, manipulate soft and delicate objects or need to move in difficult environments. Soft robotics is a rapidly growing field as ...

In the same way that terrestrial life evolved from ocean swimmers to land walkers, soft robots are progressing, too, thanks to recent research in battery development and design. In the same way ...

Seoul National University College of Engineering announced that a research team led by Professor Kyu-Jin Cho (Director of the Soft Robotics Research Center) from the Department of Mechanical ...

In this review, we first highlight recent developments in mechanical-continuum robots for traditional minimally invasive surgery and then summarize the current state-of-the-art in steerable ...

Abstract: Replacing spherical robots' hard shells with soft, pressurized tires has the potential to improve their off-road practicality immensely. This change leverages spherical robots as a simple ...

In the same way that terrestrial life evolved from ocean swimmers to land walkers, soft robots are progressing, too, thanks to recent Cornell research in battery development and design. The worm and ...

A team of researchers from North Carolina State University has beaten its own record for the fastest swimming soft robot, drawing inspiration from manta rays to improve their ability to control the ...

First up is general-purpose robot manufacturer Wisson Robotics’ line of Pliabot Robots. These robots, according to their manufacturer, are soft robots designed for a range of applications — from ...
