While there are many potential uses for soft-bodied robots, the things are still typically only built in small experimental batches. Scottish scientists are out to change that, with a ...

The idea of a single robot that can transform into three different machines sounds like science fiction, but it is already ...

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 also ...

See how an autonomous robot created a shock-absorbing shape no human ever could -- and what it means for designing safer helmets, packaging, car bumpers, and more. Inside a lab in Boston University's ...

Applications for 3D printing/additive manufacturing has grown by leaps and bounds over the past decade—particularly for its use to produce production- and assembly-ready parts, not just prototypes.

Researchers from North Carolina State University have demonstrated miniature soft hydraulic actuators that can be used to control the deformation and motion of soft robots that are less than a ...
