Fluid robot motion is the result of design choices among five options including pneumatics and strain wave gears.

Soft robotics has been making waves in the technological field for its capacity to blend the intricacies of traditional robotics with the unyielding versatility of non-rigid structures. Amid this ...

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 ...

We've been hearing a lot about "artificial muscles," which allow robotic devices or prosthetic limbs to perform human-like motions. And while most of them have been produced in labs utilizing ...

As is the case with any other electrical device, the less energy that a robot uses to perform its assigned duties, the better. A new soft robotic gripper was created with this fact in mind, as it ...

[Tazer] built a small desktop-sized robotic arm, and it was more or less functional. However, he wanted to improve its ability to pick things up, and attaching a pneumatic gripper seemed like the ...

(Nanowerk News) In the future, soft robots will be able to perform tasks that cannot be done by conventional robots. These soft robots could be used in terrain that is difficult to access and in ...
