Robotic thread is designed to slip through the brain’s blood vessels
MIT engineers have developed robotic thread that can be steered magnetically and is small enough to work through narrow spaces such as the vasculature of the human brain. The researchers envision the…
Self-folding ‘Rollbot’ paves the way for fully untethered soft robots
The majority of soft robots today rely on external power and control, keeping them tethered to off-board systems or rigged with hard components. Now, researchers from Harvard and Caltech have developed soft…
New e-skin innovation by NUS researchers gives robots and prosthetics an exceptional sense of touch
Researchers from NUS (National University of Singapore) have developed an ultra responsive and robust artificial nervous system for e-skins.They named it as Asynchronous Coded Electronic Skin (ACES). Robots and prosthetic devices may…
Tiny Vibration-Powered Robots Are the Size of the World’s Smallest Ant
Georgia Tech researchers have created a new type of tiny 3D-printed robot that moves by harnessing vibration from piezoelectric actuators, ultrasound sources or even tiny speakers. Swarms of these “micro-bristle-bots” might work…
