Abstract: Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs), also recognised as artificial muscle, have been widely developed for the soft locomotion robot. With the complaint skeleton and miniaturised dimension, ...

Robots intended for complex natural environments face a familiar problem: rigid bodies and fixed-color surfaces make them ...

This rarely seen glass octopus bared all recently — even a view of its innards — when an underwater robot filmed it gracefully soaring through the deep waters of the Central Pacific Ocean.

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

This robot was designed to do your house chores, but a remote human operator might be helping it finish them. Connor is a technology writer and editor, with a byline on multiple platforms. He has been ...

Scientists on California’s Central Coast recently spotted a giant, evasive seven-arm octopus while on a research expedition in Monterey Bay. The rare creature, called Haliphron atlanticus, was seen by ...

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 ...

Julian is a contributor and former staff writer at CNET. He's covered a range of topics, such as tech, crypto travel, sports and commerce. His past work has appeared at print and online publications, ...

Proprioceptive sensing plays a crucial role in robotics, enabling closed-loop control approaches that are essential for autonomous applications. In Soft Robotics, the development and integration of ...

Researchers built OCTOID, a soft robot that shifts color and shape like an octopus, responding to electrical signals, blending with surroundings, and grasping objects. (Nanowerk News) Underwater ...
