Scientists Develop an Octopus-Like 'Soft Robot' That Can Change Color ...

Researchers at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Seoul National University, have applied the principle of interlacing to an origami-inspired structure and developed a "Foldable-and-Rollable ...

A 301 mg soft robot jumps continuously under constant light without batteries or electronics, using snap-through buckling and self-shadowing to create an autonomous feedback loop.

In the future, our aircraft, buildings, and homes may be constructed by robots similar to the prototype structure-building robot BILL-E. This innovative robot was created by graduate student Benjamin ...

Over the past decades, roboticists have introduced a wide range of advanced systems that can move around in their ...

A novel MIT-developed system makes it possible to design robot shapes and determine its optimal ability to traverse a particular terrain. The simulation-based system is called RoboGrammar and is a ...

Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) have unveiled a novel robotic structure, the "trimmed helicoid," inspired by the movements of elephant trunks and octopus ...

Building a robot is hard. Building one that can sense its environment and learn how to get around on its own is even harder. But UCLA engineers took on an even bigger challenge. Not only did they ...

Researchers reveal the physics of jumping shell structures, improving control and agility in soft robots inspired by the mechanics of a simple popper toy. The team meticulously analyzed the jumping ...

Ensuring the structural safety of bridges, tunnels, construction machinery, and other critical infrastructure is essential for public safety, economic stability, and environmental protection.
