Researchers at Case Western Reserve University are developing a new self-propelled robotic sleeve inspired by the earthworm. Earthworms move by contracting body segments in a wave-like motion, which ...

Engineers have developed a new soft, flexible device that makes robots move by expanding and contracting -- just like a human muscle. To demonstrate their new device, called an actuator, the ...

A research paper by scientists at Tianjin University presented an earthworm-inspired multimodal pneumatic continuous soft robot enhanced by wire-winding transmission. The research paper, published on ...
