A paper crane that flaps its wings without a single motor inside it sounds like a magic trick. But engineers at Princeton University have built exactly that: a soft robot, constructed entirely through ...

This approach removes a major limitation in soft robotics. Traditional fluid-driven systems rely on “heavy, bulky, oftentimes ...

Muscles are remarkably effective systems for generating controlled force, and engineers developing hardware for robots or ...

As the demands (and advantages) of digital connectivity and environmental responsibility continue to transform the industrial ...

The special AM machine that was devised to handle the diverse materials needed for the motor build. The assembly and ...

Abstract: Untethered soft actuators that operate without physical connections to external power sources or control system cables are an active area of research for their potential applications in ...

US researchers have built air-powered muscles that help robots lift 100 times their weight while staying lightweight and ...

It governs the precise movement of actuators, motors and other mechanical components. The technology combines controllers, ...

What if a technology could reanimate parts of the body that have lost their connection to the brain—like a bladder that can ...

STMicroelectronics has released motor-control software designed to simplify drive enhancement with AI for optimisation and predictive maintenance applications.

While space structures and robotic arms require lightweight actuation devices capable of repetitive movement, conventional motor-based systems face limitations due to their heavy weight and complex ...

As of March 2026, the global industrial landscape has reached a critical inflection point where mechanical hardware is being superseded by Software-Defined Motion The Global Linear Actuators Market, ...
