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 ...

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 ...

Magnetic composite with stiffness control allows programmable 3D shape shifting for use in soft robots, tactile interfaces, and reconfigurable displays. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Cephalopods such as ...

Researchers at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory have unveiled a innovative adaptive robot suction mechanism that draws inspiration from the biological structures of octopus suckers. This robot octopus ...

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 ...
