The researchers say that future work could focus on applying their resource sharing framework to more complex systems with ...

Researchers at Northwestern University say they have built modular robots that can keep moving even after being cut into ...

If a soft-bodied robot uses rigid actuators to move its body, then it isn't really soft now, is it? An experimental new caterpillar-inspired bot gets around that conundrum by using soft, collapsible ...

Warning: they're also hard to kill. The post Strange Modular Robots Are Writhing Across Landscapes appeared first on Futurism.

The next generation of soft robots might be folding and sliding as effortlessly as living tissue, say a team of engineers who have created “magnetic muscles” with 3D printing. Filling elastic, ...

Researchers at Dartmouth College have created modular robots that can assemble into structures and move through real-world terrain. Built from cube-shaped blocks, the robots combine rigid rods with ...

(Nanowerk News) Engineers at Princeton and North Carolina State University have combined ancient paperfolding and modern materials science to create a soft robot that bends and twists through mazes ...
