Lucy Knowles reflects on her journey with Blue Crew 6153 and the leadership skills she gained. FARMINGTON — From building ...

Soft-bodied robots are unlocking a new era of adaptive machines that can safely interact with the human body, squeeze through tight spaces, and propel themselves autonomously.

Amid this emerging landscape, researchers from Zhejiang University and Carnegie Mellon University have introduced the MiuraKit – a one-of-a-kind modular construction kit for pneumatic robots.

A research team develops 3D-printed pneumatic logic modules that control the movements of soft robots using only air pressure. These modules enable logical switching of the air flow and can thus ...

In a rare and remarkable feat, two local high school robotics teams — FRC Team 3489: Category 5 Robotics, representing Summerville and Ashley Ridge High Schools, and FRC Team 342: Burning ...

doesn’t depend on motors and reducers - transmission devices commonly used in robotics - but instead uses 3D-printed plastics and relies on pneumatic artificial muscles to power its robots.

This requires such soft robots to be controllable without any electronics, which is still a challenge in development. A research team at the University of Freiburg has now developed 3D-printed ...
