Artificial muscles made from twisted fibers could offer a compact and lightweight alternative to conventional motors in applications such as miniature robots or medical implants. But these synthetic ...

In the dynamic landscape of intelligent technology, electrically powered artificial muscle fibers (EAMFs) are emerging as a revolutionary power source for advanced robotics and wearable devices.

In two new studies, North Carolina State University researchers designed and tested a series of textile fibers that can change shape and generate force like a muscle. In the first study, the ...
