A new type of soft robot can crawl like a worm, climb cables, and suddenly snap into a completely different shape to move in a new direction—all controlled by a single air input. This breakthrough, ...

The octobot is the world’s first completely soft, autonomous, and untethered robot. It is free of wires, batteries, and any hard material—like its namesake, the octopus, which has no internal ...

Soft robots are revolutionizing the world of technology. Advancing robotics in automation, a team of researchers from the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology has developed Leafbot. This ...

Scientists at the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) have developed a soft robot called Leafbot, which is vibrated by a single vibration motor and can therefore move even ...

Researchers have developed a soft robot capable of crawling like a worm, climbing cables, and rapidly changing shape to shift directions—all powered by a single air input. Soft robots are flexible but ...

A robot that employs the attributes of living beings rather than an android enclosed in metal. Soft robots do not necessarily look like real creatures, although some may. However, they emulate the ...

Researchers at North Carolina State University have created a soft robot that moves in a distinctly caterpillar-like manner. As detailed in the research paper in Science Advances by [Shuang Wu ...

Researchers in Japan have developed Leafbot, a soft robot capable of moving over uneven surfaces that could find applications in disaster relief, pipeline inspections and precision farming.

A soft robot design that demonstrates the desired motion of actuation in order to safely maneuver through the lung during bronchoscopy. During a bronchoscopy, a needle is passed through the airway to ...
