Modular robots are becoming increasingly popular among roboticists as they are composed of different elements or modules that can be reconfigured to carry out specific tasks more effectively. Origami, the Japanese art of folding paper to create 3D decorative shapes, can be an inspiration for the creation of modular robotic structures because it offers predefined

A team of researchers from POSTECH and Sungkyunkwan University has developed a new technology for high-performance organic polymer semiconductors, which exhibit both stretchability and electrical functionality. To enable semiconductors to be used in diverse flexible devices like flexible displays and skin-attachable medical devices, it is necessary to use stretchable materials instead of rigid ones. However,

A team of material scientists and electronic engineers at MIT has developed a magnetic soft robot that can move when subjected to a unidirectional magnetic field. The robots were created by combining fiber-based fabrication systems with mechanical and magnetic programming methods. The team published their findings in the journal Advanced Materials, outlining how they overcame

A study conducted by Charles Darwin University (CDU) and Torrens University researchers explored the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to combat cybersickness in virtual reality (VR) users. The study used AI techniques and machine learning algorithms to predict when potential users of VR technology with headsets would experience symptoms of cybersickness such as nausea, headaches,
