This repository contains a Simscape model of a quadrupeded robot able to walk on flat and inclined terrain, with a environment that presents different obstacles, and the posibility of open-loop or ...

Abstract: ‘‘Vine robots” are thin-walled, tubular, pneumatic soft robots that lengthen at their tips to navigate constrained and complex environments. Previous studies have already explored the ...

Although they're constantly improving, robots aren't necessarily known for their gentle touch. A new robotic system from MIT and Stanford takes a unique stab at changing that, with a robot that uses ...

Imagine a robot that grows like a vine, wrapping around objects or people to lift them safely. It can handle fragile or heavy items gently. Caption:The researchers demonstrated that the vine robot can ...

In the horticultural world, some vines are especially grabby. As they grow, the woody tendrils can wrap around obstacles with enough force to pull down entire fences and trees. Inspired by vines' ...

The researchers demonstrated that the vine robot can safely and stably lift a variety of heavy and fragile objects, like a watermelon. In the horticultural world, some vines are especially grabby. As ...

Top Intel Dem speaks out after classified briefing on Venezuela, Maduro's capture: Trump admin 'doesn't have a plan' ...

European roboticists today released a powerful open-source artificial intelligence model that acts as a brain for industrial robots—helping them grasp and manipulate things with new dexterity. The new ...

A new generation of soft robots is here. Flexible, adaptable, and capable of navigating spaces once unreachable, these robots are designed to move like living organisms, transforming how doctors ...

Researchers developed a soft robotic skin that enables vine robots that are just a few millimeters wide to navigate convoluted paths and fragile environments. (Nanowerk News) To accomplish this, the ...

Researchers showed that the robot could navigate a model of human arteries. Photos: David Baillot/UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering Researchers developed a soft robotic skin that enables vine ...
