Could a robot smaller than a grain of sand really hoist a load heavier than a bowling ball? In South Korea, engineers have ...

Researchers have engineered a material that is as soft as skin but remarkably strong. Ulsan National Institute of Science & Technology (UNIST) team in South Korea has developed an innovative magnetic ...

(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 ...

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 ...

Striving to stand out in the competitive humanoid robotics market, Polish-frim Clone Robotics has unveiled its first full-scale humanoid robot, Clone Alpha. The humanoid integrates synthetic organs ...

As promising a technology as artificial muscles have been, most of the time they’re still a bit too artificial, often made of plastics, nylon, rubber, waxy carbon nanotubes and the like. That might ...

The boundary between living tissue and machine is blurring in MIT laboratories. Engineers there have developed a bio-inspired ...

Muscle contraction hardening is not only essential for enhancing strength but also enables rapid reactions in living organisms. Taking inspiration from nature, the team of researchers at QMUL’s School ...

(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 ...

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 ...

ALBAWABA - A new artificial intelligence (AI) innovation could change the medical sector and bring hope into the lives of many patients across the world. Researchers in the U.S. have developed ...

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 ...
