“Muscles never clamp directly onto bone.” This anatomical truth, as simple as it sounds, has become the blueprint for a leap ...

Soft robotics has emerged as a transformative branch of robotics, distinguished by its reliance on highly compliant materials ...

A former surgeon's biology-inspired startup is creating soft robotic cells that could transform how intelligent machines are ...

Researchers have achieved a tremendous breakthrough in the field of soft robotics, creating a bot using water-based hydrogen material, so as to allow it to be patterned, folded, and manipulated to ...

Embodying intelligence into materials requires engineering systems that can autonomously sense, adapt, and respond to environmental stimuli, similar to the dynamic behaviours of living organisms.

Engineers at MIT have devised an ingenious new way to produce artificial muscles for soft robots that can flex in more than one direction, similar to the complex muscles in the human body. The team ...

A biomaterial that can mimic certain behaviors within biological tissues could advance regenerative medicine, disease modeling, soft robotics and more, according to researchers at Penn State.

Inspired by the hardness-changing behavior of sea cucumbers, a 3D-printed hard/soft switchable hydrogel was successfully developed by infusing a phase transition hydrated salt solution into the ...

Soft robots have a “cardiovascular” problem. While their bodies can deform and bend, their hearts, the pumps that keep them ...

Inspired by the human eye, our biomedical engineering lab at Georgia Tech has designed an adaptive lens made of soft, light-responsive, tissuelike materials. Adjustable camera systems usually require ...
