Mixing gelatin and sugar syrup could make for a tasty 1900’s dessert. But it’s also the base of a gel-like substance that, in the future, could lead to cheap, bendy, and sustainable robots. Scientists at Johannes Kepler University Linz in Austria have built a tentacle-like robotic finger with gelatin and…

GREEN BAY, Wis. (WBAY) - Hundreds of students from across the U.S. and Canada put their skills to the test at Lambeau Field in a robotics competition. Seventy-two teams are competing in a tournament with and against other students using robots they built over the past several months. Students and…

One of the biggest challenges in space exploration is the dangerous nature of space environments: many places we want to explore have no or low levels of oxygen, low or micro-gravity, and potentially dangerous space radiation. That’s why we send out robots like the Mars rovers Perseverance and Curiosity, which…
