The next generation of soft robots might be folding and sliding as effortlessly as living tissue, say a team of engineers who have created “magnetic muscles” with 3D printing. Filling elastic, ...
A flexible magnetic soft robot using magnetorheological fluids navigates the gastrointestinal tract, folds to fit narrow passages, and delivers drugs to targeted lesion sites. (Nanowerk News) ...
(a) Structural decomposition diagrams of the soft sheet robot and magnetorheological fluids. (b) Diagram of the 3D model of the soft sheet robot. (c) Microstructure diagram of magnetorheological ...
Innovative magnetic robots for steel bridge inspection utilize AI and advanced sensors, ensuring effective defect detection and structural health monitoring.
Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Left: A scientist in a lab. Right: Kidney stones. If you didn’t know, kidney stones are far more common than you might think. And ...
Until now, when scientists created magnetic robots, their magnetization profiles were generally fixed, enabling only a specific type of shape programming capability using applied external magnetic ...
A new 3-D printing technique can create paper-thin "magnetic muscles," which can be applied to origami structures to make them move. By infusing rubber-like elastomers with materials called ...
A crawler robot made with the miura-ori origami pattern. The dark sections are affixed with thin "magnetic muscles" made by co-extruding rubber polymer and ferromagnetic particles, which move the ...
Chemists made magnetically powered robots able to move faster with a clever design trick. They created a flexible film that has little pockets of magnetic powder in it, instead of mixing the powder ...
Soft robots are only as capable as the artificial muscles that drive them, and for years those muscles have forced a trade-off between strength and flexibility. A new magnetic polymer design is ...
