A three-unit soft actuator brings together ease of fabrication and state-of-the-art design to overcome challenges in robotics.

Sensors developed to respond to jaw movement can be connected wirelessly to different devices for hands-free control.

Researchers demonstrate learning behaviour in a solid-state device that is entirely controlled by electrical stimuli.

Using soft materials, researchers have developed a robot arm that mimics the rotational movement and structure of the shoulder.

Insights gained from the hard landings of tree-climbing geckos leads to better and controlled perching in robotic aerial vehicles.

An AI made from plasma learns to play tic-tac-toe using varying and controllable mixtures of gases, in a major step forward.

Forcing robots to see through a human’s eyes is limiting. Smart robotic eyes that can think for themselves could be the answer.
