Researchers have created microscale robots less than 1 millimeter in size that are printed as a 2D hexagonal 'metasheet' but, with a jolt of electricity, morph into preprogrammed 3D shapes and crawl.

ITHACA, N.Y. – Cornell University researchers have created microscale robots less than 1 millimeter in size that are printed as a 2D hexagonal “metasheet” but, with a jolt of electricity, morph into ...

Researchers have demonstrated miniature soft hydraulic actuators that can be used to control the deformation and motion of soft robots that are less than a millimeter thick. The researchers have also ...

It just got a little easier to create soft robots that adapt to the world around them. Rice University researchers have developed a 3D printing technique (they call it “4D”) for material that ...

The legacy of microscale robotics at Cornell continues to unfold – and refold and unfold itself again. The latest addition is a robot less than 1 millimeter in size that is printed as a 2D hexagonal ...

Mori3's triangular, modular design allows it to fuse with its companions, and could one day make it into space. By Andrew Paul Published Jun 13, 2023 10:00 AM EDT Get ...

Engineers at Switzerland's Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have unveiled a groundbreaking development in robotics: shapeshifting, 2D triangular robots that can transform into virtually ...

Researchers from North Carolina State University have demonstrated miniature soft hydraulic actuators that can be used to control the deformation and motion of soft robots that are less than a ...

Engineers at the University of Michigan have found that ancient basket-weaving techniques could be the key to creating a new class of resilient and stiff materials for the 21st century. The research ...
