How can programmed failure protocols help improve sheet-based fluidic devices, the latter of which have become a cornerstone in enhancing soft robotics worldwide? This is what a recent study published ...

Unlike traditional robots, which rely on rigid motors, gears, and pumps, soft robots use pliable materials that allow them to bend, stretch, and interact safely with humans and delicate environments.

A team of scientists has developed grain-sized soft robots that can be controlled using magnetic fields for targeted drug delivery, paving the way to possible improved therapies in future. A team of ...

Imagine having a continuum soft robotic arm bend around a bunch of grapes or broccoli, adjusting its grip in real time as it lifts the object. Unlike traditional rigid robots that generally aim to ...

Researchers developed a soft robotic skin that enables vine robots that are just a few millimeters wide to navigate convoluted paths and fragile environments. To accomplish this, the researchers ...

A soft electroactive gel enables untethered robots to deform, grip, and move using only external electric fields, eliminating the need for internal wiring or circuitry. (Nanowerk Spotlight) The ...

Seoul National University College of Engineering announced that a research team led by Professor Kyu-Jin Cho (Director of the Soft Robotics Research Center) from the Department of Mechanical ...
