One day, robots might navigate through your blood vessels to break up clots, deliver targeted chemotherapy or repair ruptured blood vessels more efficiently and effectively than existing tools, ...

Researchers have developed an AI control system that enables soft robotic arms to learn a wide repertoire of motions and ...

Humanoid robots are moving out of labs and into living rooms, just as aging populations and caregiver shortages are straining home health systems. The next wave is not the rigid metal machines of ...

Robots have come a long way since they were first imagined over 100 years ago, and this new Chinese model continues to push the tech forward.

Ciqun Xu, researcher at the University of Bristol, says, “Think of the electro morphing gel robot and future soft robots as Swiss Army knives. Their ...

A lightweight humanoid robot developed by researchers in China does not behave in the way most robots do. It stretches, shrinks, and changes its outli.

The fastest-ever swimming soft robot has been inspired by manta rays. A team of American researchers beat its own speed record by drawing inspiration from the iconic sea creatures to improve their ...

In a laboratory in Connecticut, a palm-sized silicone robot scrunches up its body to inch forward in a caterpillar-like motion. A brick tips over onto its leg, trapping it as it struggles to move on.

Engineers at MIT have devised an ingenious new way to produce artificial muscles for soft robots that can flex in more than one direction, similar to the complex muscles in the human body. The team ...
