A joint research team has successfully developed a next-generation soft robot based on liquid. The research was published in Science Advances. Biological cells possess the ability to deform, freely ...

Something that distinguishes current robots from living creatures is rigidity. Cells are often squishy, while robots' usual plastic and metal structures are not. There are some examples of softer ...

Schools of fish, colonies of bees, and murmurations of starlings exhibit swarming behavior in nature, flowing like a liquid in synchronized, shape-shifting coordination. Through the lens of fluid ...

A tiny flexible magnetohydrodynamic pump capable of powering soft robots has been developed by a team from the University of ...

A liquid robot capable of transforming, separating, and fusing freely like living cells has been developed. Seoul National University College of Engineering announced that a joint research team led by ...

Soft robots have a “cardiovascular” problem. While their bodies can deform and bend, their hearts, the pumps that keep them ...

The Soft Machines Lab at Carnegie Mellon University has created a rudimentary robot that can become a liquid on demand, a capability the lead author compared to the T-1000 from Terminator 2. Share on ...

How can soft robots be enhanced while reducing the need for gears and motors? This is what a recent study published in Advanced Functional Materials hopes to address as a team of scientists ...

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced nearly $10 million for seven projects that will accelerate development and testing of marine energy technologies. These investments advance research ...

Boeing subsidiary Liquid Robotics just won its first sizeable defense contract to supply USVs to Japan. The company has nearly tripled the price of its Wave Glider robot vessel since getting acquired ...
