Soft robotics is an emerging field in the robotic world with promising adaptability in navigating unstructured environments.

McGill University engineers have developed ultra-thin materials that can move, fold, and reshape themselves, ...

It'll likely be a while before we have humanoid robots taking over our household chores, but what you can count on sooner is seeing more robots in industrial settings, like factories and warehouses.

Fluid robot motion is the result of design choices among five options including pneumatics and strain wave gears.
