University of Science and Technology of China has made a fascinating development in robotics, with the octopus-inspired robotic arm led by Nikolaos Freris. It combines the dexterity of a human hand ...

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 ...

In order to function safely alongside human workers, robotic arms shouldn't be hard and unyielding. An experimental new arm was designed with that fact in mind, as it mimics soft n' squishy elephant ...

Octopus arms coordinate nearly infinite degrees of freedom to perform complex movements such as reaching, grasping, fetching, crawling, and swimming. How these animals achieve such a wide range of ...

Research describes a computational model that captures the intricate muscular architecture of an octopus arm. Mechanical engineering PhD candidate Arman Tekinalp, fellow graduate student Seung Hyun ...
