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 ...

According to researchers, the breakthrough enhances the performance of soft robots, enabling more efficient and dynamic actions. Snap-through is when a system quickly shifts from one stable state ...

As a result, robots can easily become obsolete and outdated as newer systems emerge. "Our group has been actively researching soft robotics for several years, with a particular focus on developing ...

An increasing number of robots need to interact safely with humans, manipulate soft and delicate objects or need to move in difficult environments. Soft robotics is a rapidly growing field as ...

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 ...

Seoul National University College of Engineering announced that a research team led by Professor Kyu-Jin Cho (Director of the Soft Robotics Research Center) from the Department of Mechanical ...

A team of researchers from North Carolina State University has beaten its own record for the fastest swimming soft robot, drawing inspiration from manta rays to improve their ability to control the ...

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 ...

Abstract: Replacing spherical robots' hard shells with soft, pressurized tires has the potential to improve their off-road practicality immensely. This change leverages spherical robots as a simple ...
