Researchers at Harvard University have just created the first autonomous, entirely soft robot: the "octobot." Developed through a combination of 3-D printing, molding, and soft lithography, the ...

This image provided by Ryan Truby, Michael Wehner, and Lori Sanders, Harvard University, shows the octobot, an entirely soft, autonomous robot. A pneumatic network, red, is embedded within the octobot ...

Our future robot overlords never looked so squishy. A team of Harvard University scientists has built an entirely soft robot — one that’s inspired by an octopus. The octobot, described this week in ...

Scientists and researchers have created a cool autonomous robot that is modeled after an octopus called the octobot. The reason that the team modeled the robot after an octopus is because the octopus ...

See that pretty translucent octopus up there? That's not a toy or a real (but strange) creature from the deep: it's a soft robot developed by a team of Harvard University researchers, and it's ...
