The day is coming when you may walk past a robot and have no idea it was a robot. Over years of engineering, we've given ...

An interdisciplinary student research team at the University of Waterloo has achieved an advance in materials science with the creation of a tissue-like hydrogel for artificial muscles to make soft ...

Nature is replete with slender filaments that bend and coil – from climbing grape vines, to folded proteins, to elephant ...

Researchers have developed an intelligent artificial muscle that mimics biological muscle–tendon systems. The team ...

Imagine a rubber band that turns into a steel cable on command. Now imagine it’s inside a robot. That’s the basic trick of a new artificial muscle built by researchers at the Ulsan National Institute ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Striving to stand out in the competitive humanoid robotics market, Polish-frim Clone Robotics has unveiled its first full-scale ...

Engineers at MIT have devised an ingenious new way to produce artificial muscles for soft robots that can flex in more than one direction, similar to the complex muscles in the human body. The team ...

Our muscles are nature’s actuators. The sinewy tissue is what generates the forces that make our bodies move. In recent years, engineers have used real muscle tissue to actuate “biohybrid robots” made ...

Researchers at Stanford University combined an elastomer with metal ions to create a substance that could one day be used in a self-healing artificial muscle. Nancy Crotti Scientists have been trying ...

Researchers created tough hydrogel artificial tendons, attached them to lab-grown muscle to form a muscle-tendon unit, then linked the tendons to a robotic gripper's fingers. (Nanowerk News) Our ...
