Engineers propose a new quantitative framework to account for and predict the impact of temperature on the curing speed of platinum-catalyzed silicone elastomers. The findings could maximize ...

Over on their YouTube channel [Science Buddies] shows us how to embed LEDs in soft robots. Soft robots can be made entirely or partially from silicone. In the video you see an example of a claw-like ...

In a laboratory in Connecticut, a palm-sized silicone robot scrunches up its body to inch forward in a caterpillar-like motion. A brick tips over onto its leg, trapping it as it struggles to move on.

The key component of this robot is the soft electrohydraulic actuator. “Unlike traditional rigid robots, soft robots have better environmental adaptability and safety, and electrohydraulic actuation ...

Ishikawa, Japan-- Soft robotics is an emerging field in the robotic world with promising adaptability in navigating unstructured environments. Where traditional robots struggle with unpredictable ...

An overview paper published in the journal Science explores artificial intelligence (AI) applications in medical robots, including Professor Kaspar Althoefer's scientific research unlocking the ...
