Researchers at Cornell University have been working on batteries that can 'flow' through the internal structures of robots, kind of like how blood in humans' veins powers our bodies. The team has been ...

This project by the Biologically Inspired Robotics Laboratory at Case Western Reserve University seeks to develop a novel means of robotic locomotion useful in niche applications such as pipe ...

Everyone who lives in an older home knows that plumbing is hell. The smallest problem involves a plumber cursing at your bathtub with a metal snake, or worse, a giant truck drilling its way through ...

ITHACA, N.Y. – In the same way that terrestrial life evolved from ocean swimmers to land walkers, soft robots are progressing, too, thanks to recent Cornell University research in battery development ...

Inspired by the spring-loaded motion of tiny parasitic nematodes, engineers have developed a robot that can leap to significant heights. A 5-inch soft robot developed by a team at Georgia Institute of ...

No single robot can perform all tasks, yet bringing a bunch of different robots along on Moon missions would be quite inefficient. The WORMS setup offers an alternative, in the form of components that ...

MIT engineers have developed a universal robotic parts kit called WORMS, or the Walking Oligomeric Robotic Mobility System, designed to be easily configured and reconfigured for various missions on ...

MIT engineers have designed a walking lunar robot cleverly inspired by the animal kingdom. The "mix-and-match" system is made of worm-like robotic limbs astronauts could configure into various ...

“That’s how they git you. They’re under the goddamned ground!” So says Val McKee, the hired hand played by Kevin Bacon in 1990’s classic comedy creature feature, Tremors. McKee is referring to the ...
