A research team in South Korea has developed a soft robot named Octoid that can mimic the movement and behavior of an octopus in its natural habitat. The robot's "triple-in-one" system enables it to ...

For the first time, engineers have digitally recreated the complex muscular architecture of the octopus arm and its unique movements, which opens the door to developing soft robotics with ...

Researchers built OCTOID, a soft robot that shifts color and shape like an octopus, responding to electrical signals, blending with surroundings, and grasping objects. (Nanowerk News) Underwater ...

A soft robotic system uses liquid crystal elastomers to merge shape shifting, gripping, and color change, demonstrating fully integrated motion and optical feedback within a single flexible material. ...

Scientists inspired by the octopus’s nervous system have developed a robot that can decide how to move or grip objects by sensing its environment. The team from the University of Bristol’s Faculty of ...

Octopuses have the incredible ability to quickly change and adapt their skin to camouflage themselves in their surroundings - an ability researchers have been working to adapt to synthetic materials.

Researchers at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory have unveiled a innovative adaptive robot suction mechanism that draws inspiration from the biological structures of octopus suckers. This robot octopus ...

Underwater octopuses change their body color and texture in the blink of an eye to blend perfectly into their surroundings when evading predators or capturing prey. They transform their bodies to ...
