Engineers have developed a new soft magnetic hydrogel that can be 3D-printed into microscopic structures.

A South Korean research team has developed a soft robot that moves on its own without electricity, using a single jelly-like material that implements the principle of a coiling and uncoiling helical s ...

Researchers from MIT, EPFL, and the University of Cincinnati have developed a 3D-printed soft magnetic hydrogel enabling microscopic robots to move and deform independently under magnetic control. The ...

Researchers have achieved a tremendous breakthrough in the field of soft robotics, creating a bot using water-based hydrogen material, so as to allow it to be patterned, folded, and manipulated to ...

Embodying intelligence into materials requires engineering systems that can autonomously sense, adapt, and respond to environmental stimuli, similar to the dynamic behaviours of living organisms.

Engineers at MIT have devised an ingenious new way to produce artificial muscles for soft robots that can flex in more than one direction, similar to the complex muscles in the human body. The team ...

Breaking away from conventional robots that perform only predefined functions once fabricated, researchers have developed a ...

Inspired by the hardness-changing behavior of sea cucumbers, a 3D-printed hard/soft switchable hydrogel was successfully developed by infusing a phase transition hydrated salt solution into the ...
