Seeing robots made with soft, flexible parts in action appears to lower people's anxiety about working with them or even being replaced by them. A study found that watching videos of a soft robot ...

(Nanowerk News) Our muscles are nature’s perfect actuators — devices that turn energy into motion. For their size, muscle fibers are more powerful and precise than most synthetic actuators. They can ...

Engineers have developed a new soft, flexible device that makes robots move by expanding and contracting -- just like a human muscle. To demonstrate their new device, called an actuator, the ...

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 ...

Engineers are another step closer to developing soft robotics and wearable systems that mimic the ability of human and plant skin to detect and self-heal injuries. (Nanowerk News) A University of ...

For the first time, engineers have digitally recreated the complex muscular architecture of the octopus arm and its unique movements, which opens the door to developing soft robotics with ...

The human body moves through a coordinated effort of skeletal muscles, working in concert to generate force. While some ...

Fossils of a marine animal that lived 500 million years ago, combined with computer simulations, informed the design of a new soft robot. ROCKVILLE, MD – Soft robotics is the study of creating robots ...

Halloween may be behind us, but The Nightmare Before Christmas proved you can combine the spooky holiday with the “Most Wonderful Time of the Year” to get some fabulous music. With that in mind, we ...
