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 […]
Soft Sensing Skin for Robot Control
In the past few years, we have covered plenty of soft robots and controllers here. MIRMI researchers have come up with a framework for silicone-based skin-like sensors for objects of […]
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 […]
Flexipod: Legged Soft Robot for Dynamic Movement
This is the Fleixpod: a 3D printed soft robot designed for dynamic locomotion. It is printed with flexible TPU. Its Gyroid infill produces soft & flexible structures. The legs are […]
