Scientists at the University of Bristol have discovered that the common kitchen ingredient, used in Vietnamese spring rolls, is biodegradable, non-toxic and suitable for soft robotic prototyping, ...

The robots utilize paper-based electrodes and liquid crystal elastomers for asymmetric bending and crawling motions. Biological systems have inspired the development of next-generation soft robotic ...

In a major step toward more adaptable and intuitive machines, Kempner Institute Investigator Yilun Du and his collaborators ...
