In a groundbreaking leap for robotics, scientists have developed artificial muscles that can empower humanoid robots to lift weights previously ...

This dual cross-linking design lets the muscle switch stiffness on demand. In lab tests, its stiffness jumps from about 213 ...

Once again, scientists have created something to give humanoid robots skills that no human possesses without asking themselves if it is truly a good idea.

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 ...

Swedish researchers have developed a breakthrough 3D printing method to create soft actuators. These dielectric elastic actuators (DEA) are made from silicone-based materials, combining conductive ...

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 ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed artificial muscles that contain microbubbles and can be controlled with ultrasound. In the future, these ...

(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 ...

Clone Robotics has released a new video of its first musculoskeletal android, Protoclone. Touted as the most anatomically accurate robot ever created, Protoclone is built on a natural human skeletal ...

Many of my physiologic systems replicated somebody who's 20 or 30 years older than me.” Now there may be a solution: robot ...

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 ...
