The stiffened artificial muscle can support up to 5 kilograms (11 pounds) — roughly “4,000 times its own weight.” The muscle ...

A research team affiliated with UNIST has unveiled a new type of artificial muscle that can seamlessly transition from soft ...

It has been a long endeavor to create biohybrid robots – machines powered by lab-grown muscle as potential actuators. The flexibility of biohybrid robots could allow them to squeeze and twist through ...

Scientists have achieved a breakthrough in robotics by designing the first robotic leg equipped with “artificial muscles,” allowing the machine to move more like a human than previously possible. The ...

Most robots rely on rigid, bulky parts that limit their adaptability, strength, and safety in real-world environments. Researchers developed soft, battery-powered artificial muscles inspired by human ...

MIT engineers grew an artificial, muscle-powered structure that pulls both concentrically and radially, much like how the iris in the human eye acts to dilate and constrict the pupil. We move thanks ...

A University of Nebraska–Lincoln engineering team is another step closer to developing soft robotics and wearable systems that mimic the ability of human and plant skin to detect and self-heal ...

Light-powered artificial muscles for underwater robots with reversible, high-stroke actuation Demonstrating 3 times greater actuation stroke and 2 times higher work capacity than existing ...

Inventors and researchers have been developing robots for almost 70 years. To date, all the machines they have built – whether for factories or elsewhere – have had one thing in common: they are ...
