A British R&D unit that’s been compared to DARPA is funding synthetic muscles, electronic skin, and mechanical hands for a robotics dexterity project. The Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA) ...

The realm of robotics has undergone remarkable advancements, culminating in one of the most groundbreaking developments – synthetic muscles can lift a staggering one thousand times their own weight.

On Wednesday, Clone Robotics released video footage of its Protoclone humanoid robot, a full-body machine that uses synthetic muscles to create unsettlingly human-like movements. In the video, the ...

Engineers at MIT have devised an ingenious new way to produce artificial muscles for soft robots that can flex in more than one direction, similar to the complex muscles in the human body. The team ...

While we may be impressed by their artificial intelligence, humanoids often have an awkward, clunky gait. Now, experts have ...

Students recently unveiled their invention of a robotic actuator -- the 'muscle' that converts energy into a robot's physical movement -- that has the ability to detect punctures or pressure, heal the ...

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 ...

Earlier this year, a robot completed a half-marathon in Beijing in just under 2 hours and 40 minutes. That’s slower than the human winner, who clocked in at just over an hour—but it’s still a ...

A Korean research team has developed a light-powered artificial muscle that operates freely underwater, paving the way for next-generation soft robotics. The research team—Dr. Hyun Kim at the Korea ...

Genesis AI, a startup that aims to build a foundational model for powering all kinds of robots, has emerged from stealth with a giant $105 million seed round co-led by Eclipse and Khosla Ventures.
