Scientists created robots controlled by signals come from mycelia - the branching underground networks that support mushrooms ...

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.

Researchers introduce magnetic soft robots for precision drug delivery, offering programmable control of multiple medications for more effective therapies.

A new machine-learning technique can train and control a reconfigurable soft robot that can dynamically change its shape to complete a task. The researchers also built a simulator that can ...

This ability to control drug release without excessive leakage makes the soft robot a good candidate for treatments requiring the precise delivery of multiple drugs at different times and locations.

But what about a formless soft robot that is controlled by magnetic fields? “Such a robot could have thousands of small pieces of muscle to control,” Chen said.

Researchers develop flexible pneumatic circuits using porous foam, advancing control systems for soft robots and wearables with innovative fluidic logic and sensing capabilities.

Using this new method, the researchers constructed a six-legged soft robot capable of walking 0.05 body lengths per second, along with being able to crouch, as well. But this is just a first step ...

A tiny, soft, flexible robot that can crawl through earthquake rubble to find trapped victims or travel inside the human body to deliver medicine may seem like science fiction, but an ...
