"With origami, we have all these existing designs ... if you are using a fairly sturdy, rigid robot, if it goes out of control it could hurt the person using it. If the (soft robot) goes out ...

Researchers created a biodegradable soft robot made of pig gelatin that can break down after it is no longer useful.

In a new call for proposals, DARPA envisions living materials that could self-assemble into antennas, nets to capture debris, ...

However, soft robotic arms also tend to be weaker, shakier, and less precise than traditional robot arms made from rigid materials. To address the weaknesses of soft robotic arms, the researchers are ...

This time we welcome Ian Smith, the consistently good Goole-schooled stand-up who earned his first Best Show nom at last year ...

However, soft robotic arms also tend to be weaker, more shaky, and less precise than traditional robot arms made from rigid materials. To address the weaknesses of soft robotic arms, the researchers ...

However, compared to conventional robotic arms made from rigid materials, soft robotic arms typically have lower strength, stability, and precision. To address these limitations, the researchers are ...

With the introduction of the rigid origami principle, the deformation could be localised on elastomers whereas electrode stretching, and compression could be minimized, thereby reducing material ...

Other emergency shelter provisions have popped up in recent years, including igloo-shaped shelters from the Czech Republic, and foldable origami-inspired shelters from the University of Maine. However ...
