Meet CLARI, the shape-changing origami robot
A miniature, shape-changing robot could have applications in search and rescue, scuttling across tight and cluttered environments like an insect.
A new soft sensor gives robots the power to see, feel, and make decisions
Groundbreaking soft sensors enable robots to both see and feel, paving the way for robots that can autonomously interact with and understand their environment.
Kirigami-inspired gripper handles drops of water
A kirigami-inspired gripper that can pick up water droplets, microfibers 40 times thinner than a human hair, and objects 16,000 times its own weight.
Up in the air: Modular robots assemble mid-flight
It may sound like something straight out of an anime, but TRADY is a rotor-based flying robot that can combine to boost its strength and capabilities.
AI is revolutionizing manual cell counting
AI is changing the labor-intensive process of manual cell counting, offering improved accuracy, efficiency, and a door into new scientific applications.
Microrobots crawl, slide, and connect to form larger 3D structures
Scientists have developed a method to produce millimeter-scale soft robots by chemically binding hundreds of microrobots together.
Creating soft components for robots that return to nature
A soft, biodegradable actuator that could drive the motion of biodegradable robots and a future in symbiosis with human operators.
A computer model that can predict the “memorability” of art
Is AI that predicts which paintings are memorable and famous, regardless of content, style, or context, a threat to creativity or tool for positive change?
Have your robot and eat it too! How edible robots are reducing electronic waste
A partially edible robot based on a fully edible sensor addresses the burden of electronic waste while simultaneously acting as a nutrition source.
