A research team in South Korea has developed a soft robot named Octoid that can mimic the movement and behavior of an octopus in its natural habitat. The robot's "triple-in-one" system enables it to ...

Soon, a flexible octopus-like robot could be completely free of wires or internal electronics. Engineers at Rice University have unveiled a new soft robotic arm controlled by laser beams.

For the first time, engineers have digitally recreated the complex muscular architecture of the octopus arm and its unique movements, which opens the door to developing soft robotics with ...

Scientists have developed a robot that can decide how to move or grip objects by sensing its environment. The device is inspired by octopus’ nervous system to grab items by sensing them. Developed by ...

Scientists inspired by the octopus’s nervous system have developed a robot that can decide how to move or grip objects by sensing its environment. The team from the University of Bristol’s Faculty of ...

Researchers built OCTOID, a soft robot that shifts color and shape like an octopus, responding to electrical signals, blending with surroundings, and grasping objects. (Nanowerk News) Underwater ...

Researchers at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory have unveiled a innovative adaptive robot suction mechanism that draws inspiration from the biological structures of octopus suckers. This robot octopus ...

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American An octopus can slink through amazingly small ...

As the need for gentle, shape-adaptive handling of fragile matter grows, conventional rigid and silicone-based grippers still struggle to grasp ultra-soft foods, biological tissues or curved devices ...

Scientists have unveiled a synthetic skin inspired by octopus camouflage that is capable of changing colour and texture, opening up potential uses from robotics to display technologies. Researchers ...
