One of the challenges with humanoid robots, besides keeping them upright, is finding compact combinations of actuators and joint mechanisms that allow for good range of smooth motion while still ...

Researchers at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory have unveiled a innovative adaptive robot suction mechanism that draws inspiration from the biological structures of octopus suckers. This robot octopus ...

Robots are increasingly being used in manufacturing, agriculture and health care. But programming a team of robots to carry ...

A lamprey’s mouth has inspired a new suction device that can grip in air and underwater. The design aims to solve a persistent problem in robotics: ordinary suction cups lose their hold on rough, ...

In this video on the Innovative Techs channel, you'll discover incredible new inventions that are taking technology to the ...

In order for a soft-bodied robot to be practical, it has to be simple, light and energy-efficient, yet still reasonably quick. A newly developed mechanism fits the bill, and it's inspired by the ...
