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.

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 ...

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 ...
