A team of scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has developed grain-sized soft robots that can be controlled using magnetic fields for targeted drug delivery, ...

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, ...

Scientists from University of Macau designed a novel multi-section magnetic soft robot maneuvered by an associated collaborative multirobot navigation system. A research paper by scientists at the ...

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 tiny magnetic robot that can take 3D scans from deep within the body and could transform early cancer detection has been developed by researchers. The team, led by engineers from the University of ...

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 ...

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 ...

Forward-looking: Engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, have unveiled a flying robot that mimics the agility and precision of a bumblebee. Weighing just 21 milligrams and measuring less ...

In nature, the ten-micron small, single-cell microalgae are fantastic swimmers, propelled by their two whip-like flagella at the front. However, it wasn’t clear what would happen if scientists covered ...

A tiny magnetic robot which can take 3D scans from deep within the body, that could revolutionize early cancer detection, has been developed by researchers. The team say this is the first time it has ...
