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

Swedish researchers have developed a breakthrough 3D printing method to create soft actuators. These dielectric elastic ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Abstract Soft artificial muscles offer transformative potential in robotics, wearable electronics, and biomedical devices due to their light weight ...

Clone Robotics, a Polish-American company, has recently unveiled its groundbreaking humanoid robot, Protoclone, sparking both fascination and unease across the internet. This eerily lifelike android ...

Engineers developed a method to grow artificial muscle tissue that twitches and flexes in multiple, coordinated directions. These tissues could be useful for building 'biohybrid' robots powered by ...

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 ...

According to its developers, this transition — much like rubber transforming into steel — occurs when the artificial muscle ...

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 ...
