Researchers at UNSW have developed a new type of motor that spins, not with rigid components, but with a droplet of liquid ...

Researchers at the University of New South Wales have unveiled a radically different kind of motor that abandons conventional ...

Researchers at UNSW have developed a new type of motor that generates rotation through the internal flow of a droplet of ...

The tiny motor, called a liquid metal droplet rotary paddle motor, works in a completely new way. Instead of traditional, rigid components like coils or magnets, the motor produces rotation by using ...

Engineers have developed a new soft, flexible device that makes robots move by expanding and contracting -- just like a human muscle. To demonstrate their new device, called an actuator, the ...

Fluid robot motion is the result of design choices among five options including pneumatics and strain wave gears.

To create a safer, more practical robot, Professor Ryan Truby and his team developed a soft, flexible actuator that enables robots to move by expanding and contracting—just like a human muscle. To ...

In order to reach their full potential, soft robotic devices can't just consist of rigid electronic components encased in squishy rubber. A new material could help in that regard, as it's soft, ...

Roboticists have been motivated by a long-standing goal to make robots safer. The new actuator could be used to develop inexpensive, soft, flexible robots which are safer and more practical for ...
