Engineers have harnessed the physics behind the flailing tube men to power a tiny soft “ robot ” capable of walking, hopping, ...

Robot lawnmowers have been around for several decades, and with them the heady promise of spending the summer with your feet ...

A research team from AMOLF in Amsterdam has created a soft robot that walks, hops, and swims—all without a brain, electronics, or AI. Just soft tubes, air, and some clever physics.

MIT engineers have developed a lightweight, high-speed robotic arm capable of returning ping pong shots with impressive precision and speed.

Inspired by nature, soft robots powered by air move autonomously without electronics, mimicking animal-like coordination.

According to the USPTO, the term is merely descriptive. The agency cites evidence from Wikipedia, The Verge, and the ...
