Researchers created a biodegradable soft robot made of pig gelatin that can break down after it is no longer useful.

At Worcester Polytechnic Institute, researchers are folding plastic to make a robotic arm. WBZ-TV's Courtney Cole reports. Social Security Is Changing Under President Donald Trump. Here's What ...

WPI said soft robotic arms tend to be weaker, more shaky, and less precise than traditional robot arms made from rigid materials.

It's worth noting that even though hardware for robot platforms appears to be advancing at a steady pace (well, maybe not always ), creating a capable AI model that can pilot these robots autonomously ...

To address the weaknesses of soft robotic arms, the researchers are developing origami-inspired designs and novel fabrication ... platforms to direct the motion and reactions of a robotic arm. “Soft ...

The arm uses origami for its construction. Lightweight plastic is folded in construction. The arm is designed to assist people with disabilities. WORCESTER — When someone envisions a robotic arm ...

WPI Associate Professor Cagdas Onal demonstrates the use of "soft robotics" in a robotic arm that uses origami-inspired design to create a flexible, safe robotic arm to assist the handicapped.
