University of Toronto researchers have created a miniature robot that can crawl with inchworm-like motion. The underlying technology could one day transform industries from aviation to smart wearables ...

The robots utilize paper-based electrodes and liquid crystal elastomers for asymmetric bending and crawling motions. Biological systems have inspired the development of next-generation soft robotic ...

Biological systems have inspired the development of next-generation soft robotic systems with diverse motions and functions. Such versatility in soft robots—in terms of rapid and efficient ...

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] and ...

Who said robots have to be artificially fabricated from scratch? A team of researchers in Japan, led by University of Tokyo's Azumi Maekawa, collected tree branches and used them as the skeleton of ...

A muscle from the slug's mouth helps the robot move, which is currently controlled by an external electrical field. Future iterations of the device will include ganglia – bundles of neurons and nerves ...

UC Berkeley might be able to claim the title of ‘world’s fastest turning robot‘ and it’s all thanks to an innovation that Mother Nature came up even well before the dinosaurs: a wagging tail. It turns ...

What just happened? Halloween isn't here yet, but researchers have already unveiled a robotic hand that can detach itself and crawl around on tiny, leg-like fingers to access objects out of reach. The ...

The robots incorporated with paper electrodes and liquid crystal elastomer bilayer achieve asymmetric bending SEOUL, South Korea, Aug. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Biological systems have inspired the ...
