A new type of robots developed from thin sheets of material can execute a wide variety of actions despite the fact that they ...

Researchers have created microscale robots less than 1 millimeter in size that are printed as a 2D hexagonal 'metasheet' but, with a jolt of electricity, morph into preprogrammed 3D shapes and crawl.

Mori3's triangular, modular design allows it to fuse with its companions, and could one day make it into space. By Andrew Paul Published Jun 13, 2023 10:00 AM EDT Get the Popular Science daily ...

Like octopuses squeezing through a tiny sea cave, metatruss robots can adapt to demanding environments by changing their shape. These mighty morphing robots are made of trusses composed of hundreds of ...

Researchers have demonstrated miniature soft hydraulic actuators that can be used to control the deformation and motion of soft robots that are less than a millimeter thick. The researchers have also ...

It just got a little easier to create soft robots that adapt to the world around them. Rice University researchers have developed a 3D printing technique (they call it “4D”) for material that ...

The legacy of microscale robotics at Cornell continues to unfold – and refold and unfold itself again. The latest addition is a robot less than 1 millimeter in size that is printed as a 2D hexagonal ...
