While there are many potential uses for soft-bodied robots, the things are still typically only built in small experimental batches. Scottish scientists are out to change that, with a ...

Locomotive magnetic soft robots are categorized based on their structural characteristics into one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D), three-dimensional (3D), and fluidic types. Recently, Dr.

Researchers have created a light-powered soft robot that can carry loads through the air along established tracks, similar to cable cars or aerial trams. The soft robot operates autonomously, can ...

In a recent study published in Advanced Science, researchers introduced a small, soft robot that looks deceptively simple—a closed ring made of liquid crystal elastomers (LCE). But don’t let its ...
