bioinspired soft robot has characteristics of deformable body, flexibility, continuous changeability and high active adaptability. It has become a new evolution in robotics. In this context, a ...

new responsive soft/flexible materials are particularly appealing for novel developments in small-scale robotics. Among them, polymers and gels that respond to external stimuli with mechanical ...

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to describe the design of a soft, wearable splint for wrist joint rehabilitation, based on pneumatic soft actuators. The extensor bending and the contraction types ...

The team from Bristol University’s Faculty of Science and Engineering designed the smart robot, which uses fluid flows of air or water to coordinate suction and movement as octopuses do. The study ...

Most robots rely on complex control systems ... “In another project, we are working on a soft, artificial heart—a nice example of a system that interacts with our bloodstream, our blood ...

Find more information on the Altmetric Attention Score and how the score is calculated. Multivapor-responsive biocompatible soft actuators have immense potential for applications in soft robotics and ...

Phase-change actuation has been revived for the era of untethered, electrically driven soft robots. Our team at the University of Coimbra have developed a phase transition soft actuator designed to ...

Researchers have created soft robots that move independently without complex electronics in a breakthrough inspired by nature’s efficiency. These robots, which are modeled after the roadside ...

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 ...
