Carnegie Mellon researchers demonstrate the feasibility of layer-driven design in the construction of a discretely actuated Stoma-Board.

Hanyang University engineers have cracked the stiffness–flexibility trade-off in soft robotics, creating a polymer jumper that can leap 25 times its length and switch seamlessly between vertical and ...

Some industries already use soft robots to pick and package their items. Soft-tipped pincers are controlled by compressed air to open or close on a single type of product. Kim is currently working ...

To validate the design, the team developed a prototype called the ProTac link, a cylindrical robot arm segment wrapped in a soft sensing skin and equipped with stereo cameras at both ends.

Strawberries are delicate and hard to harvest—easily bruised and often hidden under a canopy of leaves. This creates ...

Fossils of a marine animal that lived 500 million years ago, combined with computer simulations, informed the design of a new soft robot.
