Engineers propose a new quantitative framework to account for and predict the impact of temperature on the curing speed of platinum-catalyzed silicone elastomers. The findings could maximize ...

Robots that can sense touch and perceive temperature differences? An unexpected material might just make this a reality. Researchers are developing soft and intelligent sensor materials based on ...

Engineers at MIT have devised an ingenious new way to produce artificial muscles for soft robots that can flex in more than one direction, similar to the complex muscles in the human body. The team ...

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 newly developed AI control system using neuron-inspired learning enables soft robotic arms to learn a broad set of motions once and adapt instantly to changing conditions without retraining Inspired ...

(Nanowerk News) In an age where robotics are seamlessly integrating into daily life, a team of researchers at Zhejiang University, China, has achieved a remarkable breakthrough. Their latest creation, ...

Wisson Robotics, a global pioneer in general-purpose soft robotics, will debut at CES 2025 with its Pliabot ® technology, a revolutionary commercial and universal soft robotics with human-like muscles ...

Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., is pleased that Barbara Mazzolai, PhD, has been appointed the new Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the bimonthly journal Soft Robotics. Dr. Mazzolai joins Barry Trimmer, PhD, as part ...

Researchers at a Chinese university have built a soft, human-inspired robot that can physically grow and shrink on command, mimicking the way human bones elongate during development. The robot, called ...
