Using paper coated with silicon resin and iron particles, researchers created an untethered soft robot that can move without any electronics. This magnetically controlled device can detect heavy metal ...

Biological systems have inspired the development of next-generation soft robotic systems with diverse motions and functions. Such versatility in soft robots—in terms of rapid and efficient ...

A robot can design, build and test objects made from folded paper, such as planes or grippers, better than a human if given the same number of attempts. Robotic laboratories can test and design ...
