A team of engineers has developed a groundbreaking computer model that captures the complex muscle structure of an octopus ...

This enables the octopus to hold onto even slippery or uneven surfaces with impressive strength. The Virginia Tech team mirrored this design in their adhesive, using a curved rubber stalk and a ...

Scientists study octopus arm mechanics to develop robotic systems with advanced flexibility and control capabilities.

the octopus, which has no internal skeleton. A Harvard University research team led by engineering professors Robert Wood and Jennifer Lewis tried more than 300 designs before they came up with ...

A research team has recently published a study titled "Topology, dynamics, and control of a muscle-architected soft arm," in ...

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 ...
