A soft robotic system uses liquid crystal elastomers to merge shape shifting, gripping, and color change, demonstrating fully ...

Researchers in South Korea develops a robot that can crawl, change colour and grab objects, all at the same time. It is made ...

Researchers at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory have unveiled a innovative adaptive robot suction mechanism that draws inspiration from the biological structures of octopus suckers. This robot octopus ...

If you’ve ever played the claw game, you probably never thought about the scientific applications of that arcade game designed to take your money. But engineers at Harvard University must have. A team ...

Korean researchers have developed an advanced soft robot, OCTOID, inspired by the multifunctional abilities of octopuses.

Scientists inspired by the octopus's nervous system have developed a robot that can decide how to move or grip objects by sensing its environment. (Nanowerk News) Scientists inspired by the octopus’s ...

Underwater, an octopus has an advantage when it comes to grabbing objects. Despite the watery environment, they can hold onto surfaces with ease and a surprisingly strong amount of force. This is made ...

Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) have unveiled a novel robotic structure, the "trimmed helicoid," inspired by the movements of elephant trunks and octopus ...

University of Science and Technology of China has made a fascinating development in robotics, with the octopus-inspired robotic arm led by Nikolaos Freris. It combines the dexterity of a human hand ...

When designing robots it only makes sense to occasionally take a peek at what Mother Nature has already come up with for surviving and navigating our planet. But do robotics researchers have to keep ...

This rarely seen glass octopus bared all recently — even a view of its innards — when an underwater robot filmed it ...

Scientists inspired by the octopus’s nervous system have developed a robot that can decide how to move or grip objects by sensing its environment. The team from the University of Bristol’s Faculty of ...
