MIT engineers have designed a walking lunar robot cleverly inspired by the animal kingdom. The “mix-and-match” system is made of worm-like robotic limbs astronauts could configure into various ...

Clever MIT modular robotics system could give astronauts WORMS By Ben Coxworth March 15, 2023 The spider-inspired WORMS-1 robot – other possible WORMS robots were inspired by animals such elephants, ...

ITHACA, N.Y. – In the same way that terrestrial life evolved from ocean swimmers to land walkers, soft robots are progressing, too, thanks to recent Cornell University research in battery development ...

The Walking Oligomeric Robotic Mobility System, or WORMS, is a reconfigurable, modular, multiagent robotics architecture for extreme lunar terrain mobility. The system could be used to assemble ...

Researchers at Cornell University on Monday showcased a pair of bio-inspired robotics running on a hydraulic fluid-powered battery. The redox flow battery (RFB) also mimics biological functions, as it ...

America’s top minds are apparently putting their all into developing space technology — but we’ve gotta admit, we wouldn’t really have had this in mind. As the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ...

Dean chats with Dr. Riddhi Das, a soft robotics researcher developing earthworm-inspired robots for planetary exploration. They discuss how these wriggly-yet-rigid innovations, with autonomous drive ...

Robot engineered by Case Western Reserve University to move like worm Now This: A group of researchers from Case Western Reserve University created a robot that mimics the movements of a worm. Named ...

Researchers at Cornell University have been working on batteries that can 'flow' through the internal structures of robots, kind of like how blood in humans' veins powers our bodies. The team has been ...
