Shaping Soft Robots: Programmable Control Through Strain Limitation

06.04.2026 by ebaster

A soft, elastomeric actuator achieves variable manipulation capabilities-extending into diverse geometries dictated by clutch activation-and demonstrates the capacity to reliably grasp objects ranging in mass from 3.7 grams to 820 grams under a consistent pressure of 3.1 kPa, suggesting a scalable approach to adaptable robotic manipulation.

New research combines electroadhesive clutches with pneumatic actuators to enable precise, adaptable shape control in soft robotic systems.

Let Agents Teach Themselves: Scaling Deep Research with Automation

06.04.2026 by ebaster

The system dissects complex inquiries by orchestrating a cascade of specialized agents-task creation, document inspection, information aggregation-that ultimately converge into a cohesive, long-form report, demonstrating a decomposition strategy for knowledge synthesis where the whole is built from iteratively refined fragments.

New research demonstrates how automatically refining the instructions given to teams of AI agents can dramatically improve their ability to gather complex information and produce insightful reports.

Seeing and Feeling: Robots Learn to Blend Vision and Touch

05.04.2026 by ebaster

A robotic manipulation policy reliant solely on visual input falters in contact-rich scenarios, while a naive fusion of force-torque signals can hinder performance in free space; however, a method capable of interpretably weighting force guidance-increasing during contact and decreasing during free motion-achieves an 82% success rate across three challenging tasks, significantly surpassing existing approaches and demonstrating a nuanced understanding of dynamic interaction.

New research demonstrates how robots can intelligently combine visual perception with force/torque sensing to perform more nuanced and reliable manipulation tasks.
