Soft robotics is an emerging field in the robotic world with promising adaptability in navigating unstructured environments.

Researchers in Japan have developed Leafbot, a soft robot capable of moving over uneven surfaces that could find applications in disaster relief, pipeline inspections and precision farming.

A soft robot crawls, climbs, and snaps into new shapes using a single air input, enhancing adaptability for medical and rescue applications.

The octobot is the world’s first completely soft, autonomous, and untethered robot. It is free of wires, batteries, and any hard material—like its namesake, the octopus, which has no internal ...

That's why the achievement of robots like Traptic's harvester—acquired by Bowery Farming—is so impressive. Using 3D cameras and soft grippers, it can pick fragile strawberries without damaging ...

Mid-Kansas Cooperative has also signed on to test out the swarmed, AI-powered mini-weeding and imaging robots. The startup advocates chemical-free food production, at scale. Farm Journal (FJ): How ...

A new type of soft robot can crawl like a worm, climb cables, and suddenly snap into a completely different shape to move in a new direction—all controlled by a single air input. This breakthrough, ...

Imagine a swarm of tiny robots, each about the size of the palm of your hand, spreading out over a wildfire-ravaged community ...

The move to vertical farming Simulating natural pollination ... The motion of the robot's wings is driven by these tiny, soft actuators, which are made from layers of elastomer sandwiched between ...
