If the argument that art imitates life holds true, than MIT’s fish-like soft robot ― a robot powered by fluid flowing through flexible channels ― is art. Researchers from the prestigious university ...

The fastest-ever swimming soft robot has been inspired by manta rays. A team of American researchers beat its own speed record by drawing inspiration from the iconic sea creatures to improve their ...

A group of engineering students have developed a robotic fish to help solve mysteries of the ocean. The soft robotic underwater fish, called Eve, blends into a coral reef environment, allowing ...

(a) In nature, small fish can swim agilely and increase their survival probabilities by forming schools that dynamically aggregate and disperse for collective foraging. (b) Inspired by nature, a ...

Soft robots are redefining the future of robotics with their ability to move gracefully through delicate or confined spaces. From cultivating baby corals in labs to inspecting industrial pipelines, ...

Robotic technology is advancing rapidly, and researchers are exploring new ways to make robots more functional and environmentally friendly. One breakthrough comes from scientists at Westlake ...

The manta-inspired robot can swim up and down in the water column at speeds as high as 6.8 body lengths per second. A team of researchers has beaten its own record for the fastest swimming soft robot, ...
