An intelligent eye tracker allows for accurate, hands-free remote control of robots without the need for joysticks or other devices.
Results for "soft robots"
Reviving mechanical computers for use in extreme environments
Putting a modern spin on old tech, scientists create a mechanical computer from metamaterials for situations where electronic computers break down.
Biobots made from roundworms
Scientists are turning to C. elegans for biobot designs, guiding their movement through reconfigurable microtopographies.
A robotic arm modeled after the human shoulder
Using soft materials, researchers have developed a robot arm that mimics the rotational movement and structure of the shoulder.
Robotic eyes unconstrained by human perception
Forcing robots to see through a human’s eyes is limiting. Smart robotic eyes that can think for themselves could be the answer.
Making stickier tape
A new surface treatment enhances the adhesion of double-sided tape to make stickier tapes for soft electronics.
Gentle tapping with magnetic needles for less invasive surgeries
A miniaturized, tetherless needle offers a safe means of performing surgery, treating cancer, and performing diagnostic tests.
César Rodriguez-Emmenegger: “Be passionate, creative, and bold”
Through innovative, interdisciplinary work, chemist César Rodriguez-Emmenegger is seeking a way to communicate with biological systems.
Smart threads make for dexterous catheters
A flexible magnetic catheter made from “smart threads” will help make surgeries less invasive, safer, and easier to perform.
Recyclable hydrogels for fast prototyping
Researchers have created stiff, recyclable hydrogels that can be broken down into their base components and reshaped on demand.
