Researchers are developing a robotic fabric that moves and contracts and is embedded with sensors, an approach that could bring “active clothing” and a new class of “soft” robots. Such an elastic ...

We've told you recently about robots that emulate the locomotion of snakes, slugs, and salamanders. But biomimetics isn't the only approach to robotic movement that engineers and designers are working ...

Wearable robotics are moving quickly from research labs into everyday life, and smart exosuits are leading the shift. Unlike bulky, ...

A new robotic breakthrough out of South Korea may soon turn your clothes into assistive tech. Researchers have found a way to mass-produce ultra-thin "fabric muscles" that can flex and lift like human ...

“While textiles traditionally serve solely as passive apparel, the transition to fabrics that function as powerful actuators will enable a new class of comfortable, unobtrusive, practical wearable ...

As the leg sweeps away from the robot's body on the "power stroke," it lengthens, drawing the fabric tight – this allows the fabric to act sort of like a basket, collecting and displacing the granular ...

A robotics maker has showcased a functional laundry-folding robot prototype made in under 24 ...

A lightweight humanoid robot developed by researchers in China does not behave in the way most robots do. It stretches, shrinks, and changes its outli.
