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 ...

Soon, a flexible octopus-like robot could be completely free of wires or internal electronics. Engineers at Rice University have unveiled a new soft robotic arm controlled by laser beams.

(Nanowerk News) Roboticists have long aspired to match the dexterity and adaptability of animals with engineered creations. Soft-bodied creatures like octopuses can smoothly interact with uncertain ...

For the first time, engineers have digitally recreated the complex muscular architecture of the octopus arm and its unique movements, which opens the door to developing soft robotics with ...

In order to function safely alongside human workers, robotic arms shouldn't be hard and unyielding. An experimental new arm was designed with that fact in mind, as it mimics soft n' squishy elephant ...

(Nanowerk News) Octopus arms coordinate nearly infinite degrees of freedom to perform complex movements such as reaching, grasping, fetching, crawling, and swimming. How these animals achieve such a ...

Research describes a computational model that captures the intricate muscular architecture of an octopus arm. Mechanical engineering PhD candidate Arman Tekinalp, fellow graduate student Seung Hyun ...

Just four different movements make up the 12 distinct arm motions that wild octopuses utilize to achieve complex tasks, like probing rocks for food. Research from the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL ...
