Soft to steel: Tiny robot muscle lifts 4,000 times its weight, defying limits
The stiffened artificial muscle can support up to 5 kilograms (11 pounds) — roughly “4,000 times its own weight.” The muscle ...
Imagine a material that can behave like both soft rubber and hard steel—stretchy and gentle when needed, yet powerful enough ...
Warehouse work is intense, repetitive and physically demanding. Kinisi Robotics, a U.S.-based startup, wants to change that. Its newest innovation, the Kinisi 01, also known as KR1, is a powerful ...
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 ...
To create a safer, more practical robot, Professor Ryan Truby and his team developed a soft, flexible actuator that enables robots to move by expanding and contracting—just like a human muscle. To ...
Striving to stand out in the competitive humanoid robotics market, Polish-frim Clone Robotics has unveiled its first full-scale humanoid robot, Clone Alpha. The humanoid integrates synthetic organs ...
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 ...
(Nanowerk News) We move thanks to coordination among many skeletal muscle fibers, all twitching and pulling in sync. While some muscles align in one direction, others form intricate patterns, helping ...

Creepy robot moves using 1,000 artificial muscles
The technology experts at Digital Trends reveal a creepy robot that moves using 1,000 artificial muscles. Dolly Parton breaks silence on health after sister calls for prayers ...
Soft robotics has been a promising field of research for years, but these squidgy and flexible creations have been held back by the absence of one important characteristic: strength. Now, scientists ...
As always with these kind of anthropomorphic robots: Why? The human form is the result of evolution, a messy, unguided, inefficient process. There's no reason to replicate such a configuration. Even ...
