Soft Robot Inspired by 450Million-year-old Organism
Many robots we cover are inspired by nature. Most of them modeled after animals and insects that are not extinct. Carnegie Mello University researchers have come up with a soft […]
Brainless Autonomous Soft Robot Can Escape Mazes
Here is a brainless soft robot that can escape mazes. Developed by researchers at NC State University, this robot doesn’t require a brain to get it done. It is made […]
Magnetically Actuated fiber-based Soft Robots
Here are soft tiny robots that can be controlled by a weak magnet. Scientists in Polina Anikeeva’s lab at MIT’s McGovern Institute made these robots from rubbery magnetic spirals. They […]
This Soft Robot Pump Can Power Soft Robotic Fingers
Here is a soft robotic pump that can pump liquids of different viscosities, including gin and pineapple juice. SEAS researchers built a cm-sized pump strong enough to power a robot. […]
Soft Rotary Electromagnetic Motor Developed by Georgia Tech Researchers
Here is a soft rotary motor made using liquid metal, silicone polymers and compliant magnetic composites that can be squeezed in all directions. It has a no-load speed of 4000 […]
