Earthworms move through the soil not just by wriggling around, but by sending peristaltic waves down their bodies. A new bio-inspired robot, which employs that same strategy, could one day be used in ...

This group of 'cockroaches' comes from the College of Engineering at West Lake University, cultivated in the lab of Chair ...

The 'Little Strong Machine' can still move autonomously after falling from a height of 108 meters, demonstrating exceptional ...

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 ...

If you think about building a moving machine, you probably will consider wheels or tracks or maybe even a prop to take you airborne. When [nwlauer] found an earthworm in the garden, it inspired a ...

Over the past several years, researchers have been developing soft analogues of traditionally rigid robotic components. In fluid-driven robotic systems, pumps control the pressure or flow of the ...
