A prototype of a firefighting robot that uses liquid nitrogen to quickly extinguish wildfires has been developed by a team at ...

An international research team led by the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) has achieved a breakthrough in the field of medical microrobots by developing the world's first antibiofilm ...

A Northeastern prototype firefighting robot uses cryogenic liquid nitrogen spray on small fires, with researchers exploring future wildfire response.

Schools of fish, colonies of bees, and murmurations of starlings exhibit swarming behavior in nature, flowing like a liquid in synchronized, shape-shifting coordination. Through the lens of fluid ...

How can soft robots be enhanced while reducing the need for gears and motors? This is what a recent study published in Advanced Functional Materials hopes to address as a team of scientists ...

A joint research team has successfully developed a next-generation soft robot based on liquid. The research was published in Science Advances. Biological cells possess the ability to deform, freely ...

With their bright blue bases, yellow gears, and exposed circuit tops, the 3D-printed robots look like a child’s toys. Yet as a roughly two-dozen-member collective, they can flow around obstacles ...

Dynamic liquid crystal elastomer composites enable a 3D-printed soft robot that switches between three propulsion modes on water and reshapes its body for complex tasks. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Living ...

The Soft Machines Lab at Carnegie Mellon University has created a rudimentary robot that can become a liquid on demand, a capability the lead author compared to the T-1000 from Terminator 2. Share on ...

Liquid Robotics, the pioneer of wave and solar powered ocean robots, today announced that its fleets of Wave Gliders have reached 1 million nautical miles at sea — an important milestone for the ...

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced nearly $10 million for seven projects that will accelerate development and testing of marine energy technologies. These investments advance research ...

Something that distinguishes current robots from living creatures is rigidity. Cells are often squishy, while robots' usual plastic and metal structures are not. There are some examples of softer ...
