Researchers at Case Western Reserve University are developing a new self-propelled robotic sleeve inspired by the earthworm. Earthworms move by contracting body segments in a wave-like motion, which ...

Dean chats with Dr. Riddhi Das, a soft robotics researcher developing earthworm-inspired robots for planetary exploration. They discuss how these wriggly-yet-rigid innovations, with autonomous drive ...

A research paper by scientists at Tianjin University presented an earthworm-inspired multimodal pneumatic continuous soft robot enhanced by wire-winding transmission. The research paper, published on ...

Engineers have developed a new soft, flexible device that makes robots move by expanding and contracting -- just like a human muscle. To demonstrate their new device, called an actuator, the ...

Robot engineered by Case Western Reserve University to move like worm Now This: A group of researchers from Case Western Reserve University created a robot that mimics the movements of a worm. Named ...

Researchers at Cornell University have been working on batteries that can 'flow' through the internal structures of robots, kind of like how blood in humans' veins powers our bodies. The team has been ...

Researchers at Cornell University on Monday showcased a pair of bio-inspired robotics running on a hydraulic fluid-powered battery. The redox flow battery (RFB) also mimics biological functions, as it ...

Harvard researchers have turned the nightmarish behavior of California blackworms into the foundation for a new kind of robotic swarm system. A team led by Justin Werfel at the Harvard John A. Paulson ...
