Scientists pushing the frontiers of soft robotics continue to find inspiration in the animal kingdom, with the latest examples that move like inchworms and earthworms deploying some novel sensor ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Researchers at MIT have created a tiny, cucumber-inspired soft robot ...

It’s not just cute: It’s a breakthrough in soft robotics and design, requiring no external power supply at all. Imagine a robot. But instead of sleek metal on wheels, with an elaborate blueprint of ...

GE Aerospace has introduced the Sensiworm, a bio-inspired soft robot designed to enhance inspection processes within jet engines. Unlike conventional inspection tools like video borescopes, which face ...

America’s top minds are apparently putting their all into developing space technology — but we’ve gotta admit, we wouldn’t really have had this in mind. As the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ...

MIT engineers have developed a universal robotic parts kit called WORMS, or the Walking Oligomeric Robotic Mobility System, designed to be easily configured and reconfigured for various missions on ...

“That’s how they git you. They’re under the goddamned ground!” So says Val McKee, the hired hand played by Kevin Bacon in 1990’s classic comedy creature feature, Tremors. McKee is referring to the ...

MIT engineers have designed a walking lunar robot cleverly inspired by the animal kingdom. The “mix-and-match” system is made of worm-like robotic limbs astronauts could configure into various ...

We’ve sung the mildly disturbing praises of Carnegie Mellon’s robot snakes before, but you have to check out this clip of their robosnake navigating a trap. This ...

ITHACA, N.Y. – In the same way that terrestrial life evolved from ocean swimmers to land walkers, soft robots are progressing, too, thanks to recent Cornell University research in battery development ...
