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. Scientists inspired by the octopus's nervous system ...

Scientists have found a way to help dentures better stick to the mouth - by mimicking the powerful 'suction cups' found on octopus tentacles. Many have to resort to various denture cements and ...

Researchers at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory have unveiled a innovative adaptive robot suction mechanism that draws inspiration from the biological structures of octopus suckers. This robot octopus ...
