Using Kresling origami, researchers made a robotic arm able to mimic the flexibility and motion of an octopus limb. Now, researchers have combined observations of octopuses with the ancient practice ...

Scientists inspired by the octopus's nervous system have developed a robot that can decide how to move or grip objects by sensing its environment. (Nanowerk News) Scientists inspired by the octopus’s ...

A recent University of Iowa study features an underwater vehicle that was given increased maneuverability by modeling its ...

A team from the University of Bristol’s Faculty of Science and Engineering has developed a simple yet ingenious robot that uses fluid flows—of air or water—to coordinate suction and movement, much ...

Researchers have cataloged 12 distinct wild octopus arm movements, which could inspire the next generation of flexible robots ...

Octopus tentacles have inspired the creation of a flexible robotic arm for surgeons that can access hard-to-reach regions of the body. The mechanical arm is designed to bend, stretch and squeeze its ...

When designing robots it only makes sense to occasionally take a peek at what Mother Nature has already come up with for surviving and navigating our planet. But do robotics researchers have to keep ...

This thin robotic skin looks like could have been flayed straight from an octopus. As it warps, bends, and stretches to five times its original size, it senses pressure and makes a rainbow of ...

Logic , a pioneer in autonomous, data-driven logistics solutions, has launched the Octopus robot, which the company describes as“a breakthrough in warehouse automation engineered to revolutionize ...
