Grasping and transporting objects is one of the most critical tasks for robots in a variety of fields. This task requires ...

The fields of manufacturing, logistics, and even restaurants are increasingly moving toward automation, with robots being employed for a wide range of tasks. One of the most critical applications of ...

Researchers have developed a novel device that couples magnetic fields and kirigami design principles to remotely control the movement of a flexible dimpled surface, allowing it to manipulate objects ...

Physically, sound is just pressure moving through a medium. If you harness that pressure correctly, you can actually push things around using nothing but sound. That's exactly what researchers at ...

Robot collective Magnetic microrobot swarms act as motors to move millimetre-sized passive objects without physical contact. (Courtesy: MPI-IS) Strong viscous interactions exist in microscale systems, ...
