A new material helps robots analyze and navigate their environments by scanning codes invisible to the human eye.
Results for "soft robots"
Robots will save the world from asteroids. Eventually.
Asteroids are always pelting Earth, but what happens if the big one comes along? The European Space Agency’s new asteroid telescope is coming to the rescue.
DNA robots designed in minutes instead of days
New software allows researchers to create complex structures from DNA, such as robot arms with claws and nanometer-sized airplanes.
DraBot: A soft robotic dragonfly that senses and monitors its environment
Electronics-free DraBot uses air pressure, microarchitectures, and self-healing hydrogels to watch for changes in pH, temperature, and the presence of contaminants.
A spotlight on robots helps them turn “feeling” into movement
Researchers recreate the somatic nervous system in robots, allowing them to convert feeling into movement under different stimuli.
A magnetically controlled hydrogel for octopus-like robots
A gelatin-based hydrogel allows researchers to create a flexible, remote controlled robot capable of squeezing through tight spaces.
Printing soft machines
Researchers create new soft electrostatic zipping actuators manufactured through an integrated printing process for next generation soft robotics.
Simplifying the design of soft robotic actuators
A new layer-by-layer fabrication process allows researchers to create new and improved soft robot actuators with variable degrees of stiffness.
Flagella inspire spiraling microrobots
Researchers develop microrobots that can sense their external environments and adapt their motion, similar to living organisms.
