Swedish researchers have developed a breakthrough 3D printing method to create soft actuators. These dielectric elastic ...

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 ...

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 ...

Biohybrid robots that run on real muscle are shifting from science fiction toward workable machines. In labs around the world ...

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 ...

Biological muscles act as flexible actuators, generating force naturally and with an impressive range of motion.

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 ...

Clone Robotics has unveiled a pioneering humanoid torso that sets a new standard in robotics. This innovation centers on using artificial muscles to replicate human-like movements, marking a ...

(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 Global Artificial Muscle Market is primed for growth due to rising demand for advanced prosthetics and soft robotics.

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 ...
