Researchers demonstrate that robots can be designed to react to their environment and perform tasks by programming intelligence into their structure, with minimal electronics. (Nanowerk News) From ...

A research team has developed the "hyperelastic torque reversal mechanism" (HeTRM), inspired by natural principles, allowing robots made of rubber-like materials to perform rapid, powerful movements.

The GoQBot is a soft-bodied silicon rubber robot that uses a ballistic rolling technique powered by actuators made out of shape-memory alloy coils to move crazy fast—its push-off time is under 250ms, ...
