A team of scientists and engineers at Harvard University have built the first entirely soft, autonomous robot. The aptly named Octobot was built using 3D printing, molding, and soft lithography ...

As a creature with no skeleton that’s composed almost entirely of soft muscle, the octopus is pretty fascinating. It’s extremely agile and can squeeze through the smallest of cracks, turn sharply in ...

Scientists have developed a robot that can decide how to move or grip objects by sensing its environment. The device is inspired by octopus’ nervous system to grab items by sensing them. Developed by ...

Close your eyes, and picture a robot. It's probably hard and angular, with jerky movements that have inspired dancers for decades. But robots can also be flexible, squishy, and graceful. Researchers ...

(Nanowerk News) Roboticists have long aspired to match the dexterity and adaptability of animals with engineered creations. Soft-bodied creatures like octopuses can smoothly interact with uncertain ...

WASHINGTON --The latest revolutionary robot isn’t the metallic, costly machine you’d expect: It’s squishy like Silly Putty, wireless, battery-less and made for pennies by a 3D printer. Meet Octobot.

For the first time, engineers have digitally recreated the complex muscular architecture of the octopus arm and its unique movements, which opens the door to developing soft robotics with ...

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 ...
