In the same way that terrestrial life evolved from ocean swimmers to land walkers, soft robots are progressing, too, thanks ...

Individually, California blackworms live an unremarkable life eating microorganisms in ponds and serving as tropical fish food for aquarium enthusiasts. But together, tens, hundreds, or thousands of ...

Harvard researchers have turned the nightmarish behavior of California blackworms into the foundation for a new kind of robotic swarm system. A team led by Justin Werfel at the Harvard John A. Paulson ...

Scientists pushing the frontiers of soft robotics continue to find inspiration in the animal kingdom, with the latest examples that move like inchworms and earthworms deploying some novel sensor ...

“That’s how they git you. They’re under the goddamned ground!” So says Val McKee, the hired hand played by Kevin Bacon in 1990’s classic comedy creature feature, Tremors. McKee is referring to the ...

America’s top minds are apparently putting their all into developing space technology — but we’ve gotta admit, we wouldn’t really have had this in mind. As the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Researchers at MIT have created a tiny, cucumber-inspired soft robot ...

Researchers at Cornell University on Monday showcased a pair of bio-inspired robotics running on a hydraulic fluid-powered battery. The redox flow battery (RFB) also mimics biological functions, as it ...

MIT engineers have designed a walking lunar robot cleverly inspired by the animal kingdom. The “mix-and-match” system is made of worm-like robotic limbs astronauts could configure into various ...

It’s not just cute: It’s a breakthrough in soft robotics and design, requiring no external power supply at all. Imagine a robot. But instead of sleek metal on wheels, with an elaborate blueprint of ...

GE Aerospace has introduced the Sensiworm, a bio-inspired soft robot designed to enhance inspection processes within jet engines. Unlike conventional inspection tools like video borescopes, which face ...
