Researchers at London's Queen Mary University built a robot octopus that mimics the way real-life octopuses move. As explained in their paper, "Bio-Inspired Octopus Robot Based on Novel Soft Fluidic ...
Soon, a flexible octopus-like robot could be completely free of wires or internal electronics. Engineers at Rice University have unveiled a new soft robotic arm controlled by laser beams.
In a proof-of-concept study that integrates smart materials, machine learning and an optical control system, a team of Rice researchers led by materials scientist Hanyu Zhu used a light-patterning ...
A team from the University of Bristol’s Faculty of Science and Engineering has developed a simple yet ingenious robot that uses fluid flows—of air or water—to coordinate suction and movement, much ...
A recent University of Iowa study features an underwater vehicle that was given increased maneuverability by modeling its ...
Researchers have cataloged 12 distinct wild octopus arm movements, which could inspire the next generation of flexible robots ...
They are not only the most intelligent creatures among invertebrates but also the most dexterous 'manipulators' in nature. The octopus's agile eight arms swim, camouflage, hunt, and forage in a way ...
Wild octopus arm movements reveal extraordinary control, offering insights that may transform robotics design and lifesaving technology.
Scientists from Florida Atlantic University and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution have finally unveiled this secret through in-depth analysis of octopus arm movements. This research not only ...
Logic , a pioneer in autonomous, data-driven logistics solutions, has launched the Octopus robot, which the company describes as“a breakthrough in warehouse automation engineered to revolutionize ...
