NUS researchers have developed a platform that lets lab-grown muscle tissues train themselves to record-breaking strength, ...

The fastest-ever swimming soft robot has been inspired by manta rays. A team of American researchers beat its own speed record by drawing inspiration from the iconic sea creatures to improve their ...

Quadruped "robot dogs" may move quite a bit like their canine counterparts on land, but they're not nearly as good at swimming (although some can walk underwater). Such is not the case with a new mini ...

Researchers at the National University of Singapore have developed a new way to make lab-grown muscles stronger by letting them train themselves, removing a major limitation in biohybrid robotics. The ...

Manta rays are elegantly shaped. They swim by flapping their fins like enormous wings, and their gills filter for plankton with the utmost precision. These creatures have now inspired human ...

For decades, microscopic robots lived mostly in our imagination. Movies like "Fantastic Voyage" convinced us that tiny machines would one day cruise through the human body, fixing problems from the ...

The tiny bots follow patterns of light and "artificial space-time," navigating like craft following the curved space around a black hole.
