A new class of soft, programmable composites that can twist, stiffen, and move differently depending on direction may soon redefine how robots sense and act in the world. A research team at The Hong ...

While there are many potential uses for soft-bodied robots, the things are still typically only built in small experimental batches. Scottish scientists are out to change that, with a ...

A team of researchers created Morpho, an open-source programmable environment that enables researchers and engineers to conduct shape optimization and design for soft materials. Applications can be ...
