Three soft robotics researchers from Fondazione Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia in Italy and the University of Montpellier in France have developed a unique snake-like robot that 3D prints its own ...

A tunable initial coiling structure soft robot (ICSBot) has been developed by combining theoretical calculations, finite element analysis, and direct ink writing technology. By mimicking the ...

Researchers from the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) have developed a bioinspired soft robot that mimics the movement of limbless animals. Inspired by creatures like snakes and worms, the robot ...

Researchers from IIT-Bombay and Harvard University have discovered a previously unreported S-shaped escape movement in young yellow anacondas. This rapid, non-planar motion, termed the "S-start," is ...

Scientists have developed HydroSpread, a novel technique for building soft robots on water, with wide-ranging possibilities ...

A kirigami-skinned soft robot powered by pneumatic muscles achieves crawling, steering and obstacle avoidance, advancing ...

Danish scientists have developed an origami snake robot that could one day search for survivors at disaster sites, or even explore other planets. The device moves via rectilinear locomotion, just like ...

Today's robots may not be the hospitable humanoids or shape-shifting Autobots of past imagination, but engineers are well on their way to producing machines that can walk, swim, crawl and climb as ...

Researchers have discovered a unique S-shaped escape movement in young yellow anacondas. This rapid motion helps them evade threats. The study reveals the biomechanics of this gait. It involves ...
