University of Pennsylvania creates octopus-inspired camouflage technology
Scientists have developed an imitation of the cells that octopuses and squid use to completely blend in with the environment.

Soft robotics efficient and biodegradable? Sweet words. Very sweet. Sugar words!
A prototype renewable energy device modeled on algae generates kinetic energy as it gently rocks beneath the surface.
The "new velcro" made it possible to build small devices that help monitor plant health.
Two researchers have invented a nature-inspired leg and claw system: they equip a drone, and tomorrow they will hold robotic birds.
Biomimetics still on the piece: scientists obtain indestructible glass from the structure of the oyster. Poor smartphone repairers.
A careful design allows the "biomimetic" development of batteries inspired by snake scales. They will come in handy for wearables and soft robots.
A team from Northwestern University has developed the smallest aircraft in the world. It's little bigger than a grain of sand, and it can collect data.
An innovative active camouflage system can change branch research, and has given birth to a chameleon robot that behaves like the real thing.
AVA is a robot trained with two neural networks, and capable of mimicking many human facial expressions.
A robot with a tail? So far loser idea: heavier and more expensive. Then the Carnegie researchers started studying a cat, the cheetah, and the game changed.
Underwater robotics is taking giant steps, indeed: it crawls quickly. Carnegie Mellon's latest snake robot improves visibly.
The bird drone developed by the Polytechnic University of Lausanne (EPFL) shows all the potential of flight inspired by that of birds of prey.
