It looks like footage taken from a deep-sea submersible. A small creature fills and deflates sacs to crawl across the ground, not a bone present in its translucent body. It’s not organic; in fact, ...

Biological systems have inspired the development of next-generation soft robotic systems with diverse motions and functions. Such versatility in soft robots—in terms of rapid and efficient ...

(A) Robot’s body featuring anterior and posterior segments and 2 proximity sensors mounted on its head. (B) Demonstration of different deformation modalities and schematic of inflated chambers. (C) ...

It’s a bizarre sight: With a short burst of light, a sponge-shaped robot scoots across a tiled surface. Flipped on its back, it repeatedly twitches as if doing sit-ups. By tinkering with the light’s ...

Chung-Ang University Researchers Demonstrate Paper Electrode-Based Crawling Soft Robots Chung-Ang University Researchers Demonstrate Paper Electrode-Based Crawling Soft Robots PR Newswire SEOUL, South ...

The result is something akin to Thing from “The Addams Family” — with all the scamper and skill, but none of the skin or ...

A kirigami-skinned soft robot powered by pneumatic muscles achieves crawling, steering and obstacle avoidance, advancing mobility for confined and rough terrain. (Nanowerk News) Limbless animals move ...

Insect-scale robots can squeeze into places their larger counterparts can't, like deep into a collapsed building to search for survivors after an earthquake. However, as they move through the rubble, ...

The robots utilize paper-based electrodes and liquid crystal elastomers for asymmetric bending and crawling motions. Biological systems have inspired the development of next-generation soft robotic ...
