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 ...

(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 ...

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 ...

In a lab tucked away in Poland, a group of engineers is quietly redefining what it means to build a robot. Not with circuits or gears, but with synthetic muscles, ligaments and something they’re ...

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 ...

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 ...

Could the future of rescue missions and exploration lie in the hands—or rather, the flexible movements—of a swarm of ...

A recent University of Iowa study features an underwater vehicle that was given increased maneuverability by modeling its ...

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 ...
