Fluid robot motion is the result of design choices among five options including pneumatics and strain wave gears.

Researchers at UNSW have developed a new type of motor that spins, not with rigid components, but with a droplet of liquid ...

He’s a 6′ tall liquid-metal assassin capable of assuming or abandoning human form at will This molten metal creature is made of ‘mimetic polyalloy’, an artificial liquid made from billions of units ...

The tiny motor, called a liquid metal droplet rotary paddle motor, works in a completely new way. Instead of traditional, rigid components like coils or magnets, the motor produces rotation by using ...

The study, published January 13 in Physical Review Letters, replaces the metal or plastic cogs of conventional gears with controlled flows of liquid. In their experiments, ...
