A research team in South Korea has developed a soft robot named Octoid that can mimic the movement and behavior of an octopus in its natural habitat. The robot's "triple-in-one" system enables it 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. (Nanowerk News) Scientists inspired by the octopus’s ...

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.

University of Science and Technology of China has made a fascinating development in robotics, with the octopus-inspired robotic arm led by Nikolaos Freris. It combines the dexterity of a human hand ...

(Nanowerk News) Roboticists have long aspired to match the dexterity and adaptability of animals with engineered creations. Soft-bodied creatures like octopuses can smoothly interact with uncertain ...

Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) have unveiled a novel robotic structure, the "trimmed helicoid," inspired by the movements of elephant trunks and octopus ...

Despite how advanced robots have become, getting them to feel the way humans do is an incredibly complex challenge.

The latest addition to a growing menagerie of octopus-robots has a lot going for it: It's small, completely squishy, it doesn't need a battery — and it farts. The adorable palm-sized robot is the work ...

When designing robots it only makes sense to occasionally take a peek at what Mother Nature has already come up with for surviving and navigating our planet. But do robotics researchers have to keep ...
