Future robots could soon have a lot more muscle power. Northwestern University engineers have developed a soft artificial muscle, paving the way for untethered animal- and human-scale robots. The new ...

Researchers created tough hydrogel artificial tendons, attached them to lab-grown muscle to form a muscle-tendon unit, then linked the tendons to a robotic gripper's fingers. (Nanowerk News) Our ...

Our muscles are nature’s actuators. The sinewy tissue is what generates the forces that make our bodies move. In recent years, engineers have used real muscle tissue to actuate “biohybrid robots” made ...

A Korean research team has created a light-driven artificial muscle that functions independently underwater, advancing the future of soft robotics. The system, developed by the Korea Research ...

A new development from the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) in South Korea could advance the field of soft robotics. The team successfully created a novel artificial muscle ...
