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

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed artificial muscles that contain microbubbles and can be controlled with ultrasound.

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 ...

Pop culture has often depicted robots as cold, metallic, and menacing, built for domination, not compassion. But at Georgia ...

Most robots rely on rigid, bulky parts that limit their adaptability, strength, and safety in real-world environments. Researchers developed soft, battery-powered artificial muscles inspired by human ...

A breakthrough from Canadian researchers brings us closer to robots that move with the power and grace of living organisms.

Many of my physiologic systems replicated somebody who's 20 or 30 years older than me.” Now there may be a solution: robot ...

South Korean researchers develop fabric muscles for lightweight wearable robots that move naturally with the human body.

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 ...
