A new type of soft robot can crawl like a worm, climb cables, and suddenly snap into a completely different shape to move in a new direction—all controlled by a single air input. This breakthrough, ...

Researchers at EPFL and Idiap Research Institute have developed a geometry-aware system that allows robots to manipulate irregularly shaped objects such as bananas, cups, and peelers. Using stereo ...

In a nutshell: Researchers have developed minuscule robots that can "assemble" and behave like a collective, building new shapes and tools. Inspired by nature, the team identified and developed the ...
