In the field of embodied intelligent robots, biomimetic flexible structures are becoming a key technology to break through the limitations of traditional rigid designs, enabling bio-inspired movements ...

Octopuses have nine brains, one donut-shaped one in their head plus a small one in each of their eight arms. They can use ...

The inspiration for the design is derived from papillae, a group of tiny muscles used by octopuses to change their movement ...

When octopuses move across the seafloor, they can use multiple arms to camouflage from predators. These strong arms are also ...

Scientists inspired by the octopus's nervous system have developed a robot that can decide how to move or grip objects by sensing its environment. (Nanowerk News) Scientists inspired by the octopus’s ...

Soon, a flexible octopus-like robot could be completely free of wires or internal electronics. Engineers at Rice University have unveiled a new soft robotic arm controlled by laser beams.

When designing robots it only makes sense to occasionally take a peek at what Mother Nature has already come up with for surviving and navigating our planet. But do robotics researchers have to keep ...

Octopuses can use any of their arms to perform tasks, but tend to use a particular arm, or arms, for specific tasks. This ...

The latest addition to a growing menagerie of octopus-robots has a lot going for it: It's small, completely squishy, it doesn't need a battery — and it farts. The adorable palm-sized robot is the work ...

This rarely seen glass octopus bared all recently — even a view of its innards — when an underwater robot filmed it ...

Scientists inspired by the octopus’s nervous system have developed a robot that can decide how to move or grip objects by sensing its environment. The team from the University of Bristol’s Faculty of ...
