Despite how advanced robots have become, getting them to feel the way humans do is an incredibly complex challenge.

Imagine having a continuum soft robotic arm bend around a bunch of grapes or broccoli, adjusting its grip in real time as it lifts the object. Unlike traditional rigid robots that generally aim to ...

Underwater octopuses change their body color and texture in the blink of an eye to blend perfectly into their surroundings ...

Although they're constantly improving, robots aren't necessarily known for their gentle touch. A new robotic system from MIT ...

At the Soft Robotics Lab at ETH Zurich, the scene looks less like a traditional engineering workshop and more like a child’s ...

Analog cameras are nowhere near as efficient as biological eyes. If you’ve ever handled a single-lens reflex (SLR) camera, especially if it had a zoom lens attached, you know how heavy they are, and ...

A research team in South Korea has developed a soft robot named Octoid that can mimic the movement and behavior of an octopus in its natural habitat. The robot's "triple-in-one" system enables it to ...
