Flexible Electronics

Soft robotics currently in testing is getting momentum in the robotics field. The flexible hybrid electronics are miniaturized, ultra-thin electronics printed onto flexible fabric....

During training and even operational missions, an unfortunately common occurrence among troops is death by friendly fire. The situation is even more difficult for...

Electronics that several years ago were considered too heavy or bulky for unmanned aircraft systems (UAVs) to carry are becoming light and flexible. Sometimes...

Legged robots have become increasingly capable in recent years, but most advanced quadruped systems remain expensive, complex, and difficult for students, hobbyists, and researchers...

Border checkpoints are under increasing pressure to manage rising traveller volumes, evolving security demands, and labor-intensive inspection routines. Many of these sites operate around...

Are you a startup company related to the security sector? Are you looking for recognition, international exposure, access to investors, and the ability to...

Legged robots can cross terrain that stops wheeled machines, but coordinating several legs over unpredictable ground is difficult. Many robots rely on predefined gaits,...

Computer scientists at the University of Bath in the UK developed a touch screen that can be warped through finger pressure, becoming softer or...

Building robots at microscopic scales creates an unusual engineering problem: even the simplest movements become difficult to produce. Conventional motors, gears and hydraulic systems...

Researchers from the University of North Carolina used artificial muscles and electronic skins to create advanced soft robots that are incredibly effective and safe...

Conventional drones rely on spinning propellers to generate lift and maneuver in the air. While effective, this approach has limitations, especially in tight, cluttered,...

As the need for biodegradable electronics is growing increasingly urgent, Professor Seokheun "Sean" Choi from Binghamton University decided to look into the idea of...

Protecting large industrial sites, airports, campuses and critical infrastructure often requires continuous patrols over wide areas. Autonomous security robots are increasingly being used to...

For the first time, researchers have used a customized, low-cost 3D printer to print electronics on a real hand. The technology could be used...

Chronic wounds remain one of the more difficult problems in regenerative medicine. In many cases, the body fails to maintain the immune and signaling...

Getting personnel into remote or hostile territory normally requires aircraft, helicopters or prepared launch infrastructure. Those options can be noisy, detectable and dependent on...

Researchers have found a way to harvest electricity from radio waves. From microwave ovens to Wi-Fi connections, the radio waves that permeate the environment...

Engineers at the University of Delaware are revolutionizing human health monitoring using clothing- or more precisely- using nanomaterial-based sensors embedded in clothing, called "Henswear." The team,...

Handling irregular, delicate, or heavy objects remains a persistent challenge for both industrial automation and frontline operations. Conventional grippers rely on rigid claws or...

Collecting data in the Arctic is often as challenging as the research itself. Beneath seemingly solid snow can lie hidden pools of icy water,...

Development of fully 3D printed OLEDs can potentially be used for applications in soft electronics and wearable devices. In a groundbreaking new study, researchers...

Soft robots are often praised for their flexibility, safety, and ability to interact with delicate environments. But many of these systems still depend on...
