In the latest iteration of the hybrid system, Disney Research has built a human-safe, humanoid robot consisting of an upper torso with two club-handed arms with four degrees of freedom and a head ...

To design a robot that can play a tune on a keyboard, the pneumatic soft robot would have to “memorize” notes and maintain positions of moving parts.

Conventional robots, like those used in industry and hazardous environments, are easy to model and control, but are too rigid ...

To address this issue, Soft Robotics has released its coDrive system to “cut the pneumatic cord” and allow the company’s mGrip gripper to be deployed where the customer needs it for collaborative ...

In an office at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, or MIT CSAIL, a soft robotic hand curls its fingers to grasp a small object. The ...

A research team at MIT has introduced a new method for controlling soft, flexible robots using just a single image—without relying on complex sensors or detailed modeling. The approach, recently ...

EPFL researchers have developed a customizable soft robotic system that uses compressed air to produce shape changes, vibrations, and other haptic, or tactile, feedback in a variety of configurations.

Here’s the latest entry in “future robot overlord watch”. Each stick is driven by a pneumatic cylinder. The control is generated using a midi file as the source. The system is com… ...

The paper, “Earthworm-Inspired Multimodal Pneumatic Continuous Soft Robot Enhanced by Winding Transmission” was published in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems on Mar. 19, 2025, at DOI: 10. ...

[Tazer] built a small desktop-sized robotic arm, and it was more or less functional. However, he wanted to improve its ability to pick things up, and attaching a pneumatic gripper seemed like the p… ...
