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

Robots now see the world with an ease that once belonged only to science fiction. They can recognize objects, navigate ...

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 ...

A team of researchers provides a perspective on the role that soft actuators and energy harvesters play in building ...

By using one physical principle—magnetism—to drive both movement and power, the team created a robot that is more efficient, ...

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 ...

Robotic technology is advancing rapidly, and researchers are exploring new ways to make robots more functional and environmentally friendly. One breakthrough comes from scientists at Westlake ...

Assoc. Prof. Do Thanh Nho believes we can use soft robotic hearts that mimic the movements of a natural heart to assist ...

Using paper coated with silicon resin and iron particles, researchers created an untethered soft robot that can move without any electronics. This magnetically controlled device can detect heavy metal ...

The research team led by Dr. Dae-Yoon Kim at the Functional Composite Materials Research Center of the Korea Institute of ...
