Researchers at Cornell University have been working on batteries that can 'flow' through the internal structures of robots, kind of like how blood in humans' veins powers our bodies. The team has been ...

Humanoid robots are moving out of labs and into living rooms, just as aging populations and caregiver shortages are straining home health systems. The next wave is not the rigid metal machines of ...

If you're making a small robot that can explore tight spaces, it would be good if that device could also shimmy its way through narrow gaps. An experimental new robot can do just that, by emulating a ...

Professor of Biology Barry Trimmer highlighted the groundbreaking capabilities of his newly developed soft-bodied robot during the Dean's Faculty Forum in the Coolidge Room in Ballou Hall on Monday ...

How can soft robots enhance cancer drug delivery? This is what upcoming research hopes to address as a team of researchers ...

LOS ANGELES - Harvard scientists have built a new type of flexible robot that is limber enough to wiggle and worm through tight spaces. It's the latest prototype in the growing field of soft-bodied ...

Several research groups across the United States and Europe have demonstrated that 3D-printed artificial muscles can replicate biological movements such as contracting, twisting, and lifting, bringing ...

'Soft robots,' medical devices and implants, and next-generation drug delivery methods could soon be guided with magnetism -- thanks to a metal-free magnetic gel developed by researchers. Carbon-based ...

Tufts researchers recently received a $2.7 million training grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship program that will enable them to ...
