The commercialization of clothing-type wearable robots has taken a significant step forward with the development of equipment ...

Researchers from the Advanced Robotics Research Center at the Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM) have built an automated weaving system that continuously produces ultra-thin, shape ...

An automated system that weaves ultra-thin “fabric muscles” capable of powering wearable robots like everyday ...

We've been hearing a lot about "artificial muscles," which allow robotic devices or prosthetic limbs to perform human-like motions. And while most of them have been produced in labs utilizing ...

Researchers have unveiled a novel class of AI-enhanced artificial muscles built from bio-inspired, lifelike materials.

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 ...

The next generation of soft robots might be folding and sliding as effortlessly as living tissue, say a team of engineers who ...

Electroactive polymer actuators represent a rapidly evolving field in materials science, where electrically induced deformations in polymers are harnessed to produce controlled mechanical motion.

Researchers at CU Boulder are collaborating to develop a new kind of biocompatible actuator that contracts and relaxes in only one dimension, like muscles. Their research may one day enable soft ...

Researchers have created a new type of fiber that can perform like a muscle actuator, in many ways better than other options that exist today. And, most importantly, these muscle-like fibers are ...

The model and controllers will add new knowledge for the use of the twisted and coiled polymer muscle in mechatronic system. The main contribution of “Control of TCP muscles using Takagi–Sugeno–Kang ...
