Researchers at Cornell University have been working on batteries that can 'flow' through the internal structures of robots, kind of like how blood in humans' veins powers our bodies.

Cornell University researchers are building soft robots with “robot blood” that is both hydraulic fluid that provides motive force and at the same time a battery that stores and delivers ...

In the same way that terrestrial life evolved from ocean swimmers to land walkers, soft robots are progressing, too, thanks to recent Cornell research in battery development and design. The worm and ...

Testing showed the robot capable of adhering to a wide variety of targets, whether they were wet, oily, gooey or dry. It can manipulate or move multiple types of objects, including tissue and ...

An “octobot” less than three inches wide is changing the robotics landscape. The octobot is the world’s first completely soft, autonomous, and untethered robot. It is free of wires ...

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 ...

In the same way that terrestrial life evolved from ocean swimmers to land walkers, soft robots are progressing, too, thanks to recent research in battery development and design. In the same way ...

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 ...

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 ...

The field of soft robotics has expanded rapidly in the past five years. This course will survey the field, covering topics from pneumatic actuators (“McKibben muscles”), to jamming grippers, to novel ...
