Researchers at Cornell University on Monday showcased a pair of bio-inspired robotics running on a hydraulic fluid-powered battery. The redox flow battery (RFB) also mimics biological functions, as it ...

Researchers at Cornell University have been working on batteries that can 'flow' through the internal structures of robots, kind of like how blood in humans' veins powers our bodies. The team has been ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Taking a cue from nature's evolutionary path from water to land, the Organic Robotics Lab and the Archer Group at Cornell ...

A new jellyfish-inspired soft robot can move through water at record speeds while carrying out complex biomedical tasks, thanks to a magnetic actuation system and optimized motion waveforms designed ...

Cornell University researchers are building soft robots with “robot blood” that is both hydraulic fluid that provides motive force and at the same time a battery that stores and delivers energy ...

Researchers show how biohybrid robots based on jellyfish could be used to gather climate science data from deep in the Earth's oceans. Jellyfish can't do much besides swim, sting, eat, and breed. They ...

In a recent breakthrough in biomimetic robotics, researchers in China have developed a jellyfish-inspired “underwater phantom” designed for stealth operations beneath the surface. Created by a team ...

For years, science fiction has promised a future filled with robots that can swim, crawl and fly like animals. In one research lab at Caltech, what once felt like distant imagination is becoming ...

University of Colorado Boulder Professor Nicole Xu is developing biohybrid robotic jellyfish by integrating tiny microelectronic systems into the live animals. Xu has about 15 to 20 moon jellyfish in ...

Jellyfish can't do much besides swim, sting, eat, and breed. They don't even have brains. Yet, these simple creatures can easily journey to the depths of the oceans in a way that humans, despite all ...

This time-lapse composite image shows a biohybrid robot jellyfish descending through the three-story tank designed for testing the swimming abilities of the modified creatures. Jellyfish can't do much ...
