Most robots rely on rigid, bulky parts that limit their adaptability, strength, and safety in real-world environments. Researchers developed soft, battery-powered artificial muscles inspired by human ...

It is available as a NVIDIA NIM microservice for model deployment. Isaac GR00T N1.6 also expands robots’ ability to move and manipulate objects simultaneously, handling tougher challenges such as ...

Engineers designed modular, spring-like devices to maximize the work of live muscle fibers so they can be harnessed to power biohybrid robots. Our muscles are nature's perfect actuators -- devices ...

Striving to stand out in the competitive humanoid robotics market, Polish-frim Clone Robotics has unveiled its first full-scale humanoid robot, Clone Alpha. The humanoid integrates synthetic organs ...

A team of engineers just successfully merged biological life with machinery, building tiny sperm-inspired robots that use living nerve and muscle cells to swim around when exposed to light. The new ...

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 ...

Flying, bug-like bots are becoming more efficient, and you can now refuel in Tibet via an app-controlled, explosion-resistant robot. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

The Army Research Laboratory (ARL) is tired of old-school robots that use mechanical actuators — and it wants to give military tech a biological upgrade. Part of the dream is to have robots that can ...

It’s a bizarre sight: With a short burst of light, a sponge-shaped robot scoots across a tiled surface. Flipped on its back, it repeatedly twitches as if doing sit-ups. By tinkering with the light’s ...

This sped-up video of the robot underwater shows the legs walking forward, with the muscle contractions being stimulated by electricity. Researchers at the University of Tokyo have created a ...

Looking to pave the way for the production of nimble robots that can move more like living creatures than bulky androids, Army Research Laboratory scientists are embarking on fresh, high-risk studies ...

Future robots could soon have a lot more muscle power. Northwestern University engineers have developed a soft artificial muscle, paving the way for untethered animal- and human-scale robots. The new ...
