A programmable metamaterial finger can lock into four positions without electronics. A simpler, more functional future for ...

There are probably at least as many ways to construct a robotic arm as there are uses for them. In the case of [Thomas Sanladerer] his primary requirement for the robotic arm was to support a digital ...

Each of the four tool holders can use vacuum cups or grippers mounted on individual linear actuators, which can be programmed for as many as 28 separate locations. The programmable EOAT will save the ...

Programmable matter and robotic systems represent a dynamic frontier in materials science and robotics, where discrete, often modular units are designed to change their physical properties and ...

A new robotics breakthrough could reshape how machines move, adapt, and interact with the world by mimicking biology itself. Engineers at EPFL have developed a programmable foam lattice that blends ...

After three months of testing Roborock's ambitious Saros Z70, its headline-grabbing robotic arm is still just a proof of concept. Ajay has worked in tech journalism for over a decade as a reporter, ...

In a major leap for adaptive robotics, researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have developed a programmable robotic sheet that can change shape, move, and grasp ...
