In a laboratory in Connecticut, a palm-sized silicone robot scrunches up its body to inch forward in a caterpillar-like motion. A brick tips over onto its leg, trapping it as it struggles to move on.

When you think of tracked robots, you might think of bomb disposal robots or others used in military applications. You probably haven’t seen anything quite like this, however—it’s a “reconfigurable ...

Variable Topology Truss robots are distinguished by their linear actuators and passive spherical joints. However, they're also capable of reconfiguring themselves according to their needs. This robot ...

A former surgeon's biology-inspired startup is creating soft robotic cells that could transform how intelligent machines are ...

While there are many potential uses for soft-bodied robots, the things are still typically only built in small experimental batches. Scottish scientists are out to change that, with a ...
