A team of roboticists has developed a unique 3D-printed soft robotic gripper that operates without the need for electronics.

As reported in the journal IEEE Transactions on Robotics, the 3D-printed pads function as both soft skin for a robotic arm and pressure-based mechanical sensors.

What would a space ER look like? Bio-inks, magnetic robots, and fungi-inspired tubes are just some of the futuristic options.

This September marks the first National Science Popularization Month.On September 5, the China Association for Science and ...

Researchers have created a 4D printed soft robot that can crawl and dance using only changes in temperature, offering potential advancements in sustainable, autonomous robotics.

The I-Seed is a 4D-printed robot, meaning it was created using 3D printing technology, but it can alter its shape and properties when exposed to environmental stimuli like light and temperature.

Researchers have demonstrated miniature soft hydraulic actuators that can be used to control the deformation and motion of soft robots that are less than a millimeter thick. The researchers have ...
