Engineers at Harvard have developed a 3D printing technique that produces soft robotic structures capable of twisting and bending in predictable patterns when inflated with air. The method, which ...

Pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) are artificial devices that can simulate the mechanics of human muscles, and have shown great promise in industries requiring human-robot interaction systems.

A kirigami-skinned soft robot powered by pneumatic muscles achieves crawling, steering and obstacle avoidance, advancing mobility for confined and rough terrain. (Nanowerk News) Limbless animals move ...
