Researchers at MIT have developed a new three-sided zipper called the Y-Zipper that can turn soft materials into strong structures. Using 3D printing, the team created flexible zippers that can bend, twist, and lock into shape. The technology could be used for faster-deploying tents, adjustable medical devices, and shape-changing robots.

This is GEN-1 putting paper bills into a wallet. Paper has always been deceptively hard for robots. Thin, deformable, and unforgiving—it bends, folds, and slips. Not precise, you miss. Too much force, you crumple. Easy for humans. But for robots, it’s a full-stack challenge.

Researchers have presented Electrofluidic Fiber Muscles: a new class of artificial muscle fibers for robots and wearables. The new electrofluidic fiber muscles — electrically driven actuators built in fiber format — are described in a recent paper published in Science Robotics. The work is led by Media Lab PhD candidate Ozgun Kilic Afsar; Vito Cacucciolo, a professor at the Politecnico di Bari; and four co-authors. Unlike the rigid servo motors used in most robots, these fiber-shaped muscles are soft and flexible. They combine electrohydrodynamic (EHD) fiber pumps — slender tubes that move liquid using electric fields to generate pressure silently, with no moving parts — with fluid-filled fiber actuators. These artificial muscles could enable more agile untethered robots, as well as wearable assistive systems with compact actuation integrated directly into textiles.

Reinventing the wheel? 🛞 Scientists at the Korea Institute of Machinery & Materials have created an adaptable wheel that can change its stiffness in real time. The "morphing wheel" can switch between a rigid mode for smooth surfaces and a soft, flexible state to overcome obstacles like rocks or stairs. 🪜 This wheel uses chain blocks and wire spokes to adjust stiffness by tightening or loosening, similar to how a liquid droplet changes shape under tension. Researchers believe it has wide potential in personal mobility devices, robots, and wheelchairs. P.S. Where do you see a cool use case for this type of technology? 👇🏼

Researchers at MIT created a tiny origami-inspired robot that starts as a flat sheet and transforms itself into a working machine when activated by heat. Made from a heat-responsive polymer combined with rigid panels and small embedded magnets, it can self-fold into shape and then move across surfaces, swim, climb slight slopes, and handle uneven terrain, all without traditional onboard motors.

This technology could change robotics and electronic circuits forever. Do not believe me? Watch the video. These stretchable printed circuits use serpentine conductive tracks that can bend twist and expand while maintaining their electrical connections. For humanoid robots this could enable flexible electronic skin tactile sensors soft joints and embedded electronics that move with the robot instead of restricting it. Rigid PCBs remain a major limitation for soft robotics and machines designed to imitate biological movement. Stretchable electronics could place sensors and computing directly inside deformable surfaces. The next generation of AI robots may not simply move like living systems. Their electronic circuits could stretch and deform with them. This is where Humanoid Robotics Physical AI Electronic Skin and Flexible Electronics begin to converge. #HumanoidRobots #PhysicalAI #FlexibleElectronics

Imagine clothing that doubles as an exoskeleton. Researchers have developed Electrofluidic Fiber Muscles; artificial muscle fibers that can be woven directly into any garment. By integrating flexible, mm-scale pumps, these fibers eliminate the need for bulky compressors, using electric fields to move fluids at 15 W/kg power density. The result is silent, vibration-free actuation for consumer wearables and soft robotics that are powerful, portable, and machine-washable.

Human Skin developed for Robots by University of Tokyo. It is also self healing. It is uncanny and well you decide. Let see, a 🧵 — Japanese scientists from the University of Tokyo have developed a groundbreaking method to attach living, lab-grown skin to robotic faces, enabling lifelike smiles and facial expressions. It mimics human tissue structures, using collagen-based gels and perforation-type anchors to securely bind the skin to the robot's surface without tearing or peeling during movement. The artificial skin is soft, self-healing, and capable of stretching, paving the way for more realistic humanoid robots. While still in its early stages, this technology has potential applications in robotics, cosmetics, and medical research. This technology will be deployed before most of the world has a chance to understand the implications…

Engineers have created a Tony Stark-style robo-suit that can put itself on a person in 10 seconds The system works thanks to soft pneumatic tubes: under air pressure, they turn inside out and wrap around the body like growing vines. The developers want to use the technology to help elderly people and people with disabilities. It is also planned to be adapted for emergency services, where quickly putting on protective gear is crucial. In the future, even “getting dressed” could be possible without getting out of bed.
