Nov 28, 2025 - What if the same forces that move a soft robot could also power it? A research shows magnetic fields can make robots smart, and last longer.

Scientists have developed a method of getting soft robotic objects to move using directed magnetic fields. They say that it could be used for applications...

Soft robots equipped with variable stiffness actuators (VSA) are robust against impacts and are energetically efficient. However, due to the real springs in ...

While robots have moved from the realm of science fiction to a myriad of real-life uses, the potential of the "hard-bodied" robots of the 21st century remains...

A small, squishy vehicle equipped with soft wheels rolls over rough terrain and runs under water. Future versions of the versatile vehicle might be suitable...

Nov 6, 2025 - Researchers at the University of Oxford have created a new class of soft robots that operate purely on air pressure — no electronic controllers, no motors,...

This article explores the challenges of continuum and magnetic soft robotics for medical applications, extending from model development to an interdisciplinary...

Soft robot changes shape and rolls in response to heat

Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Nov 27, 2025 - Researchers at Zhejiang University have demonstrated a soft, fiber-like pump system that takes design cues from the human...

MIT is developing inflatable robotic tentacles, motor-free limbs that are able to flex and grip in response to targeted bursts of air. But the inspiration for...
