Octopus arms are one of the most flexible structures known in all of the biological world. Their agility is so extraordinary ...

Researchers have compiled the first complete catalog of octopus arm movements from 25 wild octopuses filmed in their natural habitats.

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.

Bionic flexible structures are the core technology for embodied intelligent robots to achieve biological-like movement and interact with complex environments. The design inspiration comes from the ...

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 ...

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

Researchers at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory have unveiled a innovative adaptive robot suction mechanism that draws inspiration from the biological structures of octopus suckers. This robot octopus ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...
