A new artificial intelligence control system enables soft robotic arms to learn a wide repertoire of motions and tasks once, ...

A new soft-robotic wearable uses electronics and shape-memory alloy actuators to reduce hand oedema without clinic visits.

Researchers have taken a key step toward the rapid manufacture of flexible computer screens and other stretchable electronic devices, including soft robots. Researchers in Oregon State University's ...

Inexpensive robots of all forms are on the rise. Meka uses compliant actuators called series elastic actuators (SEAs) in nearly all joints of its robotic systems. A spring between motor and load ...

A Case Western Reserve University researcher has turned the origami she enjoyed as a child into a patent-pending soft robot that may one day be used on an assembly line, in surgery or even outer space ...

In this Force Robot, tension cables loop around driveshaft capstans and wrap the “wings” of the arc-shaped linkages. When a motor drives the capstan, the cables transmit torque to the linkage. The ...

Scientists at Johannes Kepler University (JKU) have created steerable soft robots that are capable of running, swimming, and jumping at high speeds. During testing, the robots achieved a speed of 70 ...
