Stanford researchers have developed a flexible material that can quickly change its surface texture and colors, offering ...

Scientists have unveiled a synthetic skin inspired by octopus camouflage that is capable of changing colour and texture, ...

Soon, a flexible octopus-like robot could be completely free of wires or internal electronics. Engineers at Rice University have unveiled a new soft robotic arm controlled by laser beams.

For the first time, engineers have digitally recreated the complex muscular architecture of the octopus arm and its unique movements, which opens the door to developing soft robotics with ...

Researchers built OCTOID, a soft robot that shifts color and shape like an octopus, responding to electrical signals, blending with surroundings, and grasping objects. (Nanowerk News) Underwater ...

Researchers have developed a flexible material that can quickly change its surface texture and colors, offering potential ...

An artificial skin that can independently control its texture and color, much like an octopus, has been developed. It is ...

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. The team from the University of Bristol’s Faculty of ...

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American An octopus can slink through amazingly small ...

As the need for gentle, shape-adaptive handling of fragile matter grows, conventional rigid and silicone-based grippers still struggle to grasp ultra-soft foods, biological tissues or curved devices ...
