Researchers at UC Santa Barbara and TU Dresden are pioneering a new approach to robotics by creating a collective of small robots that function like a smart material. According to Matthew Devlin, a ...

Engineers at Harvard have developed a 3D printing technique that produces soft robotic structures capable of twisting and bending in predictable patterns when inflated with air. The method, which ...

“We’ve figured out a way for robots to behave more like a material,” said Matthew Devlin, a former doctoral researcher in the lab of UCSB mechanical engineering professor Elliot Hawkes, and the lead ...

A team of scientists at Yale University has developed a new “robotic fabric” that can change its shape and stiffness on demand or by sensing its environment. The material could one day be used in high ...

Northwestern Engineering’s Departments of Materials Science and Engineering and Mechanical Engineering have welcomed Ryan Truby to the faculty as an assistant professor. Prior to joining the McCormick ...

The Zwick Roell Group is the world leader in the field of automated material and component testing. With precise, innovative, reliable testing machines and intelligent software, the company provides ...

The Elytra Filament Pavilion is made from a glass and carbon fiber filament that mimics the shell of beetle wings, and no two elements are the same. This week, the Victoria & Albert museum in London ...
