Researchers have created a tiny, shape-shifting robot that swims, crawls, and glides freely in the deep sea. Developed by a ...

As a collective, the robots behaved like a material that could change shape and switch between solid and liquid states, just like the T-1000. The T-1000 was a marvel to behold, but the movie gave ...

If a robot is going to excel at traversing multiple types of terrain, it shouldn't have an unadaptable "Jack of all trades, master of none" body shape. That's where the GOAT robot comes in ...

The world of automated farming may be an unglamorous one to those not invested in its attractions, but like the robots themselves that quietly get on in the background with tending crops ...

“Every block of expanded polystyrene foam has a statue inside it and it is the task of the dual-arm hot wire-wielding robot to discover it.” — [Michelangelo], probably. But hot-wire cutters ...

Researchers at EPFL's Create Lab wanted to create a robot that requires little energy for locomotion and can still get through any terrain. The scientists have focused their research on the shape ...

Innovative robotic gripping system developed by a German university reduces energy consumption by 90% and enhances industrial efficiency.

Morphing robot turns challenging terrain to its advantage Date: February 26, 2025 Source: Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne Summary: A bioinspired robot can change shape to alter its own ...

In this way, the collective of cells manages to change the shape of the tissue, such as when they line up next to each other and elongate the body. In the robots, this feat is accomplished by light ...

The brainchild of Matthew Devlin, Elliot Hawkes, and colleagues at UC Santa Barbara and TU Dresden, the robots behave like a smart material that shape-shifts into different load-bearing structures as ...
