You log into your accounts and your apps, preferences, and contacts should sync to the new hardware. But in the world of ...

Recent progress in soft materials, fabrication, and bioinspired design has significantly expanded the capabilities of soft robots in locomotion, ...

Prosthetic hands have long struggled to replicate the dexterity and functionality of natural hands, often limiting users to a single grasp function at a time. This limitation has made everyday tasks, ...

Researchers have introduced an online model-based reinforcement learning algorithm that trains robots directly from real-world interactions, bypassing extensive simulation. The approach builds a ...

A new machine-learning technique can train and control a reconfigurable soft robot that can dynamically change its shape to complete a task. The researchers also built a simulator that can evaluate ...

Engineers have developed a new soft magnetic hydrogel that can be 3D-printed into microscopic structures.

"Ancient Japanese Art Brings Spineless Robot To Life!" Sounds very much like a movie plot summary. In reality, it perfectly ...

A research team develops 3D-printed pneumatic logic modules that control the movements of soft robots using only air pressure. These modules enable logical switching of the air flow and can thus ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Precision in drug delivery has long posed a significant challenge to the medical field. Relying on the body’s circulatory system to transport medications often results in ...

Imagine a slime-like robot that can seamlessly change its shape to squeeze through narrow spaces, which could be deployed inside the human body to remove an unwanted item. While such a robot does not ...
