While there are many potential uses for soft-bodied robots, the things are still typically only built in small experimental batches. Scottish scientists are out to change that, with a ...

Robotics companies often have to deal with a simple but confounding problem: Robots produce a lot of data. Even a simple robot can easily produce up to a terabyte of data per day, since they ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich and MIT created a multi-material 3D printed hand using a process invented to enable the innovation of soft robotics. (Thomas Buchner via Courthouse News Service) (CN) — To ...

Soft robots still tend to rely on hard electronics to function, but a new invention might reduce that need for unyielding chips. UC Riverside researchers have developed pneumatic computer memory that ...

As the field of robotics continues to evolve at a breathtaking pace, the integration of advanced technologies that enhance efficiency and productivity becomes ever more critical. One of the key ...

The field of soft robotics has exploded in the past decade, as ever more researchers seek to make real the potential of these pliant, flexible automata in a variety of realms, including search and ...

In a TED Talk on the incredible potential of flexible, soft robots, Giada Gerboni asks audiences to consider the standard approach to robotic design—not the brain, but the rigid exoskeleton. Robots ...
