Researchers at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory have unveiled a innovative adaptive robot suction mechanism that draws inspiration from the biological structures of octopus suckers. This robot octopus ...

Underwater octopuses change their body color and texture in the blink of an eye to blend perfectly into their surroundings ...

Two-thirds of an octopus's neurons are in its arms, meaning each arm literally has a mind of its own. Octopus arms can untie knots, open childproof bottles, and wrap around prey of any shape or size.

Soon, a flexible octopus-like robot could be completely free of wires or internal electronics. Engineers at Rice University have unveiled a new soft robotic arm controlled by laser beams.

Scientists inspired by the octopus's nervous system have developed a robot that can decide how to move or grip objects by sensing its environment. Scientists inspired by the octopus's nervous system ...

A research team in South Korea has developed a soft robot named Octoid that can mimic the movement and behavior of an octopus in its natural habitat. The robot's "triple-in-one" system enables it to ...

Researchers have invested heavily in improving the abilities of robots to manipulate objects. Back in September, last year, we had Nvidia unveil a new algorithm⁠—6-Dof-GraspNet⁠—that allowed robots to ...

One of the challenges that researchers in robotics face is creating robotic arms and gripers that can handle objects of varied sizes and shapes. Researchers at Harvard have developed a robot that can ...

If you’ve ever played the claw game, you probably never thought about the scientific applications of that arcade game designed to take your money. But engineers at Harvard University must have. A team ...
