At CES 2025, Wisson Robotics turned heads with live demonstrations of their innovative soft robotics systems, powered by the company’s proprietary Pliabot technology. The booth became a major ...

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 ...

Engineers at MIT have devised an ingenious new way to produce artificial muscles for soft robots that can flex in more than one direction, similar to the complex muscles in the human body. The team ...

Humanoid robots have glimmered on the tech horizon for half a century, but each new prototype still triggers Masahiro Mori’s “uncanny valley.” When a machine looks almost, but not quite, human, our ...

Roboticists have been motivated by a long-standing goal to make robots safer. The new actuator could be used to develop inexpensive, soft, flexible robots which are safer and more practical for ...

Researchers are continuing to make progress on developing a new synthetic material that behaves like biological muscle, an ...

Soft robots made out of flexible, biocompatible materials are in high demand in industries from health care to manufacturing, ...

For the first time, engineers have digitally recreated the complex muscular architecture of the octopus arm and its unique movements, which opens the door to developing soft robotics with ...

Engineers have developed a new soft, flexible device that makes robots move by expanding and contracting -- just like a human muscle. To demonstrate their new device, called an actuator, the ...
