Researchers have developed a soft robot capable of crawling like a worm, climbing cables, and rapidly changing shape to shift directions—all powered by a single air input. Soft robots are ...

Researchers at North Carolina State University have created a soft robot that moves in a distinctly caterpillar-like manner. As detailed in the research paper in Science Advances by [Shuang Wu ...

A robot that employs the attributes of living beings rather than an android enclosed in metal. Soft robots do not necessarily look like real creatures, although some may. However, they emulate the ...

A soft robot design that demonstrates the desired motion of actuation in order to safely maneuver through the lung during bronchoscopy. During a bronchoscopy, a needle is passed through the airway to ...

The robot has six legs. It is controlled by a pneumatic oscillating circuit that activates soft actuators that move the legs. They are coordinated in such a way that a constant air pressure moves ...

The octobot is the world’s first completely soft, autonomous, and untethered robot. It is free of wires, batteries, and any hard material—like its namesake, the octopus, which has no internal ...
