Harvard engineers have developed a new 3D printing technique that allows soft robots to ...

Humanoid robots are moving out of labs and into living rooms, just as aging populations and caregiver shortages are straining home health systems. The next wave is not the rigid metal machines of ...

The method, described in Advanced Materials, replaces the slow, multi-step molding and casting process that traditionally defines soft robotics. Researchers have figured out how to 3D-print ...

Despite their remarkable flexibility, today’s soft artificial muscles struggle to deliver meaningful force. This ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I'm a senior tech contributor who writes about science and technology MIT CSAIL researchers have developed a new system that ...

Our notion of robotics has recently expanded with the increased use of edible and biodegradable materials. As these materials are environmentally benign and ...

Researchers are continuing to make progress on developing a new synthetic material that behaves like biological muscle, an ...

This January, a group of researchers in Cornell’s Collective Embodied Intelligence Lab overcame a barrier in soft robotics by designing and modeling a system that takes advantage of fluid viscosity.
