Fast forward nine years, and the consortium Overvelde and Kluin have assembled, in the hope of making the soft artificial ...

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.

For the first time, engineers have digitally recreated the complex muscular architecture of the octopus arm and its unique movements, which opens the door to developing soft robotics with ...

Underwater octopuses change their body color and texture in the blink of an eye to blend perfectly into their surroundings when evading predators or capturing prey. They transform their bodies to ...

Scientists inspired by the octopus’s nervous system have developed a robot that can decide how to move or grip objects by sensing its environment. The team from the University of Bristol’s Faculty of ...

A soft robotic system uses liquid crystal elastomers to merge shape shifting, gripping, and color change, demonstrating fully integrated motion and optical feedback within a single flexible material. ...

Chinese scientists have developed an octopus-inspired soft robot with the capabilities of shrinking, environment-adaptive camouflage and multimodal locomotion. Bionic robots inspired by the way ...

Octopuses have the incredible ability to quickly change and adapt their skin to camouflage themselves in their surroundings - an ability researchers have been working to adapt to synthetic materials.

Researchers built OCTOID, a soft robot that shifts color and shape like an octopus, responding to electrical signals, blending with surroundings, and grasping objects. (Nanowerk News) Underwater ...
