Soft actuation remains the key bottleneck in creating soft robots with flexible deformation and agile locomotion similar to nature creatures. Despite extensive efforts, it remains performance ...

A crawler robot made with the miura-ori origami pattern. The dark sections are affixed with thin "magnetic muscles" made by co-extruding rubber polymer and ferromagnetic particles, which move the ...

The next generation of soft robots might be folding and sliding as effortlessly as living tissue, say a team of engineers who have created “magnetic muscles” with 3D printing. Filling elastic, ...

Researchers have created a minuscule origami robot that unfolds itself from a swallowed capsule and, steered by external magnetic fields, moves across the stomach wall to remove swallowed objects or ...

When people are dropped into the most dangerous of conditions – as when disaster strikes, or during exploration of another ...

Marking a significant advancement in molecular robotics, researchers have created custom-designed and programmable nanostructures using DNA origami. The University of Sydney Nano Institute team ...

Researchers in the field of molecular robotics have created programmable, 3-dimensional nanoscale objects – such as a nano-dinosaur, dancing robot, and a mini-Australia – using “DNA ori g ami”. “We’ve ...

Robotics makers have faced the persistent challenge of making machines that function in the same way that humans do — earlier this month, Boston Dynamics revealed a robot that could backflip. But even ...

Since its debut at the end of last year, Gemini 2.0 has gone on to power a handful of Google products, including a new AI Mode chatbot. Now Google DeepMind is using that same technology for something ...
