Goodbye Impossible Inspections: Ultra-Thin Robots for Inaccessible Spaces
Flexible 1,7mm robots transform inspections. Swimming, crawling, climbing: TS-Robots adapt to any environment.
Soft robots, the one from Yale amputates (and reattaches) its own leg
New technology for soft robots allows self-amputation and reconnection of limbs: changing the concept of robotic flexibility.
From the sea to the laboratory: the tentacle robot will be more widespread than hands
Harvard's progress in developing a tentacle robot tells us a lot about future possibilities for reliably and gently grasping objects of various shapes and sizes.
From body scan to relaxation: RO, the robotic vest that calms your nerves
RO, anti-nerve vest with custom-made inflatable pods, uses 3D body scanning to identify each user's acupressure points.
Helicoids, the new phase of soft robotics inspired by octopuses and elephants
Soft robotics advances with an arm that combines flexibility and precision: new possibilities for healthcare, agriculture and manufacturing.
FAIRY, micro robot that flies pushed by the wind like a dandelion
The project could change the global agricultural sector forever, but microrobots still have two big challenges ahead.
Created soft robot able to switch from liquid to solid state
Biomimetic research and gallium produce a robot whose characteristics recall those of a certain film with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
ART, robotic turtle that will change the locomotion of machines
What is being studied at Yale is not a "simple" robotic turtle, but the paradigm of how robots could move in the future.
A tiny remote-controlled crab is the smallest walking robot in the world
The world of micro-robotics continues to grow, with exciting new introductions. Here is the smallest remote crab in the world!
A 'millirobot' climbs through the intestine to administer drugs
Lungs and intestines are difficult scenarios even for the most advanced soft robots: now considerable progress will allow them to climb.
Soft Robot “fusillo” crosses labyrinths without batteries, processors and motors
A soft robot without processors, motors and batteries moves across different surfaces and crosses mazes using thermal energy.
The accordion robot is inspired by the octopus tentacles
A revolutionary mechanism inspired by the octopus tentacles allows to obtain a soft robot without motors and extremely precise.
Grabber, the fabric proboscis robot grabs objects like an elephant
An amazing soft proboscis robot called a grabber can grab oddly shaped and much heavier objects using a fine grip.
The robot chameleon that knows how to interact with the environment
The chameleon robot developed by the Chinese team mimics the characteristics of the reptile: it feels the context, changes its colors and moves accordingly.
The air robot can help us out in space
Easier to use, less complex, less expensive, lighter: "soft" air robots can be really useful in space exploration.
