For the first time, engineers have digitally recreated the complex muscular architecture of the octopus arm and its unique movements, which opens the door to developing soft robotics with ...

Researchers built OCTOID, a soft robot that shifts color and shape like an octopus, responding to electrical signals, blending with surroundings, and grasping objects. (Nanowerk News) Underwater ...

(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 ...

Octopus arms coordinate nearly infinite degrees of freedom to perform complex movements such as reaching, grasping, fetching, crawling, and swimming. How these animals achieve such a wide range of ...

As the need for gentle, shape-adaptive handling of fragile matter grows, conventional rigid and silicone-based grippers still struggle to grasp ultra-soft foods, biological tissues or curved devices ...

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. The team from the University of Bristol’s Faculty of ...
