The soft actuator uses boiling water to move. It works without pumps or high voltage and is used in robots for real-world use ...

However, one of the major challenges in miniaturizing robots has been the problem of shrinking conventional electromagnetic actuators, which transform electrical energy into mechanical energy and ...

A research team from the University of Coimbra has developed a soft phase change actuator for robots that uses the transition ...

He’s currently working on a real-life robot creation of Ultron, and he’s messing around with Series Elastic Actuators right now. In an earlier part of the project, he built a small robotic arm ...

Kawasaki has recently revealed its computer-generated concept for the Corleo, a “robotic horse”. The video shows the ...

Phase-change actuation has been revived for the era of untethered, electrically driven soft robots. Our team at the ...

[Aaed Musa] has built a variety of robots over the years, but found off-the-shelf servos to be underwhelming for his work. Thus, he set out to build a better actuator to support his goals of ...

The field of soft robotics has expanded rapidly in the past five years. This course will survey the field, covering topics from pneumatic actuators (“McKibben muscles”), to jamming grippers, to novel ...

The RBR50 Robotics Innovation Awards recognized HEBI Robotics' flexible and scalable mobile manipulator, which builds on its ...

They are a possible substitute for conventional actuators in automobiles, industrial machinery, and robots since they are ...

Traditional robotic actuators rely on rigid mechanical parts, but biohybrid robots powered by lab-grown muscle tissue could ...
