Kirigami transformations give rise to mechanical actuation of a soft robot upon light illumination.
Results for "soft robots"
A low-cost, intelligent soft robotic finger
Researchers from Taiwan and Japan have developed a low-cost, intelligent soft robotic finger using paper electronics.
The soft touch of intelligent, robotic systems
A new, flexible, and self-powered sensor made by magnetoelectric materials can convert mechanical stimuli to electrical signals for robots with a “soft touch”.
Creating versatile artificial muscles for life-like robots
To mimic the fluid and versatile movement of soft-bodied animals, soft robots require their own “muscles” to function.
Octopus suckers inspire soft robotic arms
The remarkably agile arms of the octopus are a source of inspiration for the design of autonomous robots.
Pain-Feeling, Self-Healing Robots
A joint European project plans to create a soft robot made from a self-healing material, which can detect and localize a damage like a pain.
Intelligent Liquids for Life-Like Robots
A generalized methodology has been established to guide the design of future soft robotics using intelligent liquids.
Soft Robotics Powered by Microfluidics
The ability to collocate multiple functionalities will create new opportunities for the fabrication of “smart” soft robotic systems.
Toward a Human-Like Soft Robotic Hand
Researchers in Japan take one step closer to making a prosthetic hand with human-like sensory and mechanical capabilities.
Robots Powered by Glucose
Soft robotic devices powered by glucose are paving the way for artificial muscles.
