Underwater octopuses change their body color and texture in the blink of an eye to blend perfectly into their surroundings ...

A research team in South Korea has developed a soft robot named Octoid that can mimic the movement and behavior of an octopus ...

A newly developed rubbery, octopuslike robot can change colors to hide or stand out in its environment. Scientists at Harvard have recently begun developing flexible robots from elastic plastics and ...

One of the challenges that researchers in robotics face is creating robotic arms and gripers that can handle objects of varied sizes and shapes. Researchers at Harvard have developed a robot that can ...

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.

A robotic octopus has begun to move, highlighting a future where our mechanical helpers (or overlords) are soft, smart, and flexible. The soft-bodied, eight-armed robot is the output of a European ...

Researchers have invested heavily in improving the abilities of robots to manipulate objects. Back in September, last year, we had Nvidia unveil a new algorithm⁠—6-Dof-GraspNet⁠—that allowed robots to ...

If you’ve ever played the claw game, you probably never thought about the scientific applications of that arcade game designed to take your money. But engineers at Harvard University must have. A team ...

Researchers have developed an octopus-inspired soft robotic arm that can grip, move, and manipulate a wide range of objects. Its flexible, tapered design, complete with suction cups, gives the gripper ...

Researchers in Japan have unveiled an “octopus” robot designed to clear rubble in disaster areas including the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant that was crippled in floods following a tsunami in ...

This rarely seen glass octopus bared all recently — even a view of its innards — when an underwater robot filmed it gracefully soaring through the deep waters of the Central Pacific Ocean. Marjorie ...

The research team led by Dr. Dae-Yoon Kim at the Functional Composite Materials Research Center of the Korea Institute of ...
