Scientists have made considerable progress with soft robots used for assistive wearables, rehabilitative technologies and more. Powered by compressed air, they offer advantages over regular robots ...

(Nanowerk News) For decades, researchers have marveled at the remarkable capabilities of biological structures like elephant trunks, octopus arms, and climbing plants. These natural continuum ...

This year, software leads the stack, robotics mirrors market conditions and AI is tested against reality. Exotec’s Arthur ...

A research paper by scientists at the University of Coimbra proposed a soft robotic hand that composed of soft actuator cores and an exoskeleton, featuring a multimaterial design aided by finite ...

(Nanowerk News) To develop a more human-like robotic gripper, it is necessary to provide sensing capabilities to the fingers. However, conventional sensors compromise the mechanical properties of soft ...

Seniors in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder are designing a new soft robot to improve physicians’ ability to examine the deepest part of a patient’s lung.

Researchers are beginning to bridge the gap between humans and robots by inventing technology to make it safer for them to work alongside each other. As part of this effort, researchers at the Wyss ...

(A) FEA-based numerical simulation to optimize the actuator’s geometry and actuation parameters. (B) Using FFF technology, the molds are printed in rigid material and the sacrificial cores are in a ...
