Scientists at the Singapore University of Technology and Design have developed a method of repairing soft robots using a 3D printer and special support gels. According to the researchers, older ...

Researchers have successfully 3D-printed a soft robotic gripper that can function immediately after fabrication without any electronics technology, allowing it to function both mounted or untethered ...

Soft skin coverings and touch sensors have emerged as a promising feature for robots that are both safer and more intuitive for human interaction, but they are expensive and difficult to make. A ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich and MIT created a multi-material 3D printed hand using a process invented to enable the innovation of soft robotics. (Thomas Buchner via Courthouse News Service) (CN) — To ...

The first soft robots that can walk from the machines that make them have been built using Flex Printer, a new 3D printing system developed at Edinburgh University. Soft machines are made from ...

Soft robotics, where the arms of a robot are flexible as opposed to being made of rigid tubes and boxes, is gaining ground. Silicone (not silicon), a soft, rubbery material is a good choice for soft ...
