Wild octopus arm movements reveal extraordinary control, offering insights that may transform robotics design and lifesaving ...

They found that while each octopus arm can perform all types of movements, there is a clear division of functional roles among them. The forearms are responsible for exploring and sensing the ...

Researchers have compiled the first complete catalog of octopus arm movements from 25 wild octopuses filmed in their natural habitats.

Soon, a flexible octopus-like robot could be completely free of wires or internal electronics. Engineers at Rice University have unveiled a new soft robotic arm controlled by laser beams.

A soft robotic arm, based on an octopus arm, might be able to get food, water or a cell phone down to someone trapped under ...

Octopuses and their arms are a bit of a mystery.  Not because scientists don’t know how they work; they’re boneless hydrostats, made up of groups of muscles working together and capable of bending, ...

For the first time, engineers have digitally recreated the complex muscular architecture of the octopus arm and its unique movements, which opens the door to developing soft robotics with ...

Octopus arms perform thousands of precise actions using just four basic movements, offering lessons for soft robotics, prosthetics, and medicine.

Octopuses, renowned for their intelligence and unique arm dexterity, are inspiring robotics innovation. Researchers have ...

A team from the University of Bristol’s Faculty of Science and Engineering has developed a simple yet ingenious robot that uses fluid flows—of air or water—to coordinate suction and movement, much ...

Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) have unveiled a novel robotic structure, the "trimmed helicoid," inspired by the movements of elephant trunks and octopus ...

Octopus arms coordinate nearly infinite degrees of freedom to perform complex movements such as reaching, grasping, fetching, crawling, and swimming. How these animals achieve such a wide range of ...
