A new "exosuit," tested during a two-week space analog mission last month in Australia run by the Austrian Space Forum, hopes ...

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 ...

That’s the basic trick of a new artificial muscle built by researchers at the Ulsan National Institute of Science and ...

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

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 ...

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.

AI-powered muscles, made from lifelike materials, paired with intelligent control systems can perform motions that feels ...

Patrick Danner from Empa's Laboratory for Functional Polymers is working on actuators made of soft materials. Artificial muscles don't just get robots moving: One day, they could support people at ...

Engineers developed a method to grow artificial muscle tissue that twitches and flexes in multiple, coordinated directions. These tissues could be useful for building 'biohybrid' robots powered by ...

(A) A summary plot illustrating the elastic modulus range of the artificial muscle compared to representative biological tissues, highlighting the biomimetic mechanical properties of the artificial ...

That’s not a vanity statement for those who want to look good or a performance issue for those who want to be better, stronger, and faster. It’s a medical issue and has been for a long time. And if ...
