Harvard engineers have developed a new 3D printing technique that allows soft robots to bend, twist, and change shape in predictable ways when inflated. The approach embeds shape-morphing behavior ...

Several research groups across the United States and Europe have demonstrated that 3D-printed artificial muscles can ...

Researchers who created a soft robot that could navigate simple mazes without human or computer direction have now built on that work, creating a 'brainless' soft robot that can navigate more complex ...

Two engineers have developed the first 3D-printed robot with a mix of solid and soft materials that can jump similarly to a human, the result of research they think will have applications for disaster ...

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 ...

(A) FEA-based numerical simulation to optimize the actuator’s geometry and actuation parameters. (B) Using FFF technology, the molds are printed in rigid material and the sacrificial cores are in a ...

Humanoid robots are rapidly improving in motion fluidity, making them more human-like and suitable for complex tasks.

If someone asked you to move like a robot and you responded with the fluid art of ballet, your audience would be baffled, yet technically, you would be right. Robots are famous for their ...
