Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have combined tissues from a sea slug with flexible 3-D printed components to build “biohybrid” robots that crawl like sea turtles on the beach. A muscle ...

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 ...

A group of Tufts researchers working on building a new type of robot is looking for help from an unusual source: caterpillars. The goal of the project, led by Professor Barry Trimmer, is to build the ...

A kirigami-skinned soft robot powered by pneumatic muscles achieves crawling, steering and obstacle avoidance, advancing mobility for confined and rough terrain. (Nanowerk News) Limbless animals move ...

A crawling robot whose actuators passively synchronize moving forward and is able to sense the end of the terrain, preventing falling off and damage. The robot actuators, sensor, and safety switch are ...

A team led by the University of Oxford has developed a new class of soft robots that operate without electronics, motors, or ...
