A spinning 3D printer nozzle creates soft robots with built-in air channels that bend in programmed directions, turning flat ...

A new machine-learning technique can train and control a reconfigurable soft robot that can dynamically change its shape to complete a task. The researchers also built a simulator that can evaluate ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Precision in drug delivery has long posed a significant challenge to the medical field. Relying on the body’s circulatory system to transport medications often results in ...

Spacebank Inc. unveils RoboViewX, an SDR-based robot control platform, at CES 2026, targeting rapid expansion into ...

Robots are rapidly moving beyond pre-programmed automation into a new era of adaptive, learning-driven autonomy. At the ...

Researchers have demonstrated a caterpillar-like soft robot that can move forward, backward and dip under narrow spaces. The caterpillar-bot's movement is driven by a novel pattern of silver nanowires ...

Formless 'slime' robots that shape-change to complete complex tasks – it sounds like science fantasy. However, MIT researchers have developed a machine-learning technique that brings shape-changing ...

When most people think of robots, what comes to mind is probably something with a hard shell, likely made of metal or plastic—and maybe shaped like a human. But when Boston University mechanical ...
