It can carry a 6kg payload with a reach of 975mm, requires only 20A of single-phase 220V ac, and costs less than $20,000. The ZA6 is the only industrial robot to use Python as its programming language ...

Let’s face it, robots are cool. They’re also going to run the world some day, and hopefully, at that time they will take pity on their poor soft fleshy creators (a.k.a. robotics developers ...

MIT developed a deep learning system that lets soft robots follow commands from a single image, enabling accurate, low-cost ...

A new machine-learning technique can train and control a reconfigurable soft robot that can dynamically change its shape to complete a task. The researchers also built a simulator that can ...

Dutch research institute [AMOLF] shows off a small robot capable of walking, hopping, and swimming without any separate control system. The limbs synchronize thanks to the physical interplay ...

Researchers have simulated a soft-bodied robot that turns rigid on demand. The advance may help broaden robots' range of tasks and allow for safe interactions with people, including in patient ...

Engineers at UC Riverside have unveiled an air-powered computer memory that can be used to control soft robots. The innovation overcomes one of the biggest obstacles to advancing soft robotics ...

This research explores how bio-inspired soft robots can achieve higher levels of autonomy by mimicking natural systems. By examining interactions between robots and their environment, the study ...
