Hello!<BR><BR>I am interested in creating a soft object which exhibits fluidlike behaviour. Using a mesh of springs as the surface but containing some springs (or other elements) underneath the ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Human skin is remarkably complex, containing an array of receptors that provide detailed sensory information about our environment through the sense of touch. One unique feature ...

As is the case with any other electrical device, the less energy that a robot uses to perform its assigned duties, the better. A new soft robotic gripper was created with this fact in mind, as it ...

(Nanowerk News) What if, instead of using X-rays or ultrasound, we could use touch to image the insides of human bodies and electronic devices? In a study publishing in the journal Cell Reports ...

Researchers at EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland, have developed a new, high-precision method for 3D-printing small, soft objects. The process, which takes less than 30 seconds from start to finish, has ...

A team at Disney Research has developed a new type of 3D printer that can build three-dimensional objects such as teddy bears out of soft fibres such as wool. The machine looks like a cross between a ...

Robotic claws, or grippers, are notoriously hard to use — remember trying to pick up a toy with an arcade claw machine as a kid (or an adult)? But a new soft gripper designed by researchers at the ...
