A new octopus-sucker-inspired suction cup could make it much easier and more energy-efficient for robots to lift and release rough-surfaced objects. The secret lies in using water to mimic octopus ...

Researchers at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory have unveiled a innovative adaptive robot suction mechanism that draws inspiration from the biological structures of octopus suckers. This robot octopus ...

A study published in the journal Science Translational Medicine describes the development and validation of an octopus sucker-inspired buccal mucosa suction patch as a novel drug delivery system. The ...

A team from the University of Bristol’s Faculty of Science and Engineering has developed a simple yet ingenious robot that uses fluid flows—of air or water—to coordinate suction and movement, much ...
