A modular worm robot built by the Organic Robotics Lab and a jellyfish that was a collaboration with the Archer Group, both in Cornell Engineering, demonstrate the benefits of "embodied energy"—an ...

Researchers at Cornell University on Monday showcased a pair of bio-inspired robotics running on a hydraulic fluid-powered battery. The redox flow battery ...

In the same way that terrestrial life evolved from ocean swimmers to land walkers, soft robots are progressing, too, thanks to recent research in battery development and design.

Researchers at Cornell University have been working on batteries that can 'flow' through the internal structures of robots, ...

The worm and jellyfish are direct descendants of an aqueous soft robot, inspired by a lionfish and unveiled in 2019, that could store energy and power its applications via a circulating hydraulic ...

Their new worm and jellyfish robots are built around the transformative concept of “embodied energy,” where integrating the power source into the robot’s structure reduces w ...

A modular worm robot and jellyfish demonstrate the benefits of “embodied energy” – an approach that incorporates power sources into the body of a machine, to reduce its weight and cost.

Scientists found a free-living coral species actively travels toward blue light resembling its natural habitat and moves like ...
