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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The eldritch, alien movements of octopus arms have captivated people for generations. These underwater cephalopods don't have just one brain but nine, with each of their arms able to act ...

The team's modeling approach is significant to advancement in robotics, dynamics and control systems. The model is in turn used to explain how structural mechanics dramatically simplify the control of ...

Olson explains that “there are many gross similarities [between the ANC and vertebrates’ spinal cords]—there is a cell body region, a neuropil region, and long tracts to connect the arms and brains in ...
