Researchers have developed an AI control system that enables soft robotic arms to learn a wide repertoire of motions and tasks once, then adjust to new scenarios on the fly without needing retraining ...

A newly developed AI control system using neuron-inspired learning enables soft robotic arms to learn a broad set of motions ...

AI-powered artificial muscles made from pliable materials are reshaping recovery, from stroke rehabilitation to prosthetic design. These machines help people regain motion, strength, and confidence. A ...

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 ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I'm a senior tech contributor who writes about science and technology MIT CSAIL researchers have developed a new system that ...

The method, described in Advanced Materials, replaces the slow, multi-step molding and casting process that traditionally defines soft robotics. Researchers have figured out how to 3D-print ...

The University of the Witwatersrand ( Wits) recently held a rare course in the field of soft robotics in South Africa at its electrical engineering school, thanks to an international expert from the ...

Our notion of robotics has recently expanded with the increased use of edible and biodegradable materials. As these materials are environmentally benign and ...

Whether artificial hands with an especially gentle touch or an endoscope that crawls through the intestines like a worm, robots made of soft materials could soon carry out tasks that are difficult for ...

Pop culture has often depicted robots as cold, metallic, and menacing, built for domination, not compassion. But at Georgia Tech, the future of robotics is softer, smarter, and designed to help. Yeo’s ...
