Engineers have invented an ingenious liquid-metal pump that could make future soft robotics and wearable devices much more ...

He’s a 6′ tall liquid-metal assassin capable of assuming or abandoning human form at will This molten metal creature is made of ‘mimetic polyalloy’, an artificial liquid made from billions of units ...

A joint research team has successfully developed a next-generation soft robot based on liquid. The research was published in Science Advances. Biological cells possess the ability to deform, freely ...

How can soft robots be enhanced while reducing the need for gears and motors? This is what a recent study published in Advanced Functional Materials hopes to address as a team of scientists ...

Reviewing the Department of Defense's daily digest of contract awards (as one does), you tend to get a good idea of who "the usual suspects" are at the Pentagon. Big defense names like RTX, Lockheed ...

Liquid Robotics doesn’t need to go diving for gold with its unmanned aquatic vehicles when investors are still willing to give $45 million in the company’s fifth round of funding. The money comes soon ...

With their bright blue bases, yellow gears, and exposed circuit tops, the 3D-printed robots look like a child’s toys. Yet as a roughly two-dozen-member collective, they can flow around obstacles ...

Dynamic liquid crystal elastomer composites enable a 3D-printed soft robot that switches between three propulsion modes on water and reshapes its body for complex tasks. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Living ...

Figure 2. The liquid robot moves across the water’s surface, captures a foreign substance, and returns to its original position. Figure 3. (Left) Two liquid robots, each carrying different foreign ...
