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 ...

YouTuber and former NASA engineer Mark Rober is betting on his robot being able to beat anyone, every time, in Rock-Paper-Scissors. He is so confident about his robot, affectionately named Rocky, ...

An experimental new non-electronic bot, however, can be 3D-printed all in one piece, and it's powered by nothing but air. The soft-bodied robot was created by postdoctoral scholar Yichen Zhai and ...

Researchers have created microscale robots less than 1 millimeter in size that are printed as a 2D hexagonal 'metasheet' but, with a jolt of electricity, morph into preprogrammed 3D shapes and crawl.

A fully 3D-printed walking robot made from a single material and powered by compressed gas works without electronics or external control systems. (Nanowerk News) Imagine a robot that can walk, without ...

Researchers have demonstrated miniature soft hydraulic actuators that can be used to control the deformation and motion of soft robots that are less than a millimeter thick. The researchers have also ...
