One of the virtues of untethered soft robots is their ability to mechanically adapt to their surroundings and tasks. Now they are poised to become even more agile and controlled.
A team of researchers led by Kirstin Petersen, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at Cornell University, designed a new -- and surprisingly simple -- system of fluid-driven actuators that enable soft robots to achieve more complex motions.

Fish sensory organ key to improving navigational skills of underwater robots -- ScienceDaily
Scientists, led by University of Bristol, have been studying a fish sensory organ to understand cues for collective behaviour which could be employed on underwater robots.
This work was centred around the lateral line sensing organ in African cichlid fish, but found in almost all fish species, that enables them to sense and interpret water pressures around them with enough acuity to detect external influences such as neighbouring fish, changes in water flow, ...
Sea cucumbers inspire liquid robots | Courthouse News Service
(CN) — To create what an international team of engineers calls "liquid" robots, they had to overcome the limitations of both traditional and so-called "soft" robots."
In their study published Wednesday in Matter , the team describes traditional robots as hard-bodied and stiff while "soft" robots are flexible but weak and their movements difficult to control.
EU Retailers Embrace Smart Delivery Robots | PYMNTS.com
The U.K. and Ireland-based electronics retailer recently partnered with UX Global (UXG), a British digital display specialist to trial a customer assistance robot developed by Shenzhen-based company Pudu Robotics , known as "KettyBot."
In a recent blog post , UXG touted the "endless" benefits retailers stand to gain from using robotics, including "boosting sales, reducing operational costs, improving efficiency, possibly generating advertising revenue and enhancing the in-store experience."

Robots With Insect Antennae Could One Day Act Like Police Sniffer Dogs - CNET
If you're anything like me, you want to win the airport security line. I'm determined to get my baggage in and out of those X-ray scanners seamlessly and in record time -- impressing everyone who absolutely does not care.
"Smell is one of the ways that we can grasp the world," Maoz said. "We can use it to identify good things like food [and] perfume and bad things like gas leaks [and] bad food. This concept will allow robots to assist us in identifying things that we currently can't."

NORTHFIELD, Vt. (WCAX) - Hundreds of elementary-aged engineers will face off at Norwich University Saturday for the return of the First Lego League Vermont State Championship.
There will be 32 teams of students in grades K-8 who will face off to see who has the best Lego robot presentation. Each team will have its own table and will show public spectators how their robots work.
Amazon Warehouse Worker: Robots Treated Better Than Human Staff
A striking Amazon warehouse worker has said the company treats its robots better than its human staff.
Westwood and another Amazon worker, Garfield Hilton, told the BBC show that Amazon robots could rely on a team of technicians to help them when they broke down, whereas workers didn't receive the same support.
