Researchers from MIT and Harvard say they are on their way to creating robots with “superpowers.” Scientists from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and Harvard’s ...

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 ...

STORY: What if robots had artificial muscles? That's the challenge scientists from ETH Zurich and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems have decided to take on. :: GFX: FUTURE OF HEALTH ...

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 parts of the ...

A separate silicone rubber layer, embedded with neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) magnetic particles, is bonded to the PI-PAA film. This “triple-layer sandwich” provides a powerful trifecta of responses: ...

A humanoid robot exhibiting movements almost identical to those of a human has been developed, causing a significant stir. Anatomically, this robot closely resembles a human and is equipped with 1,000 ...

A Korean research team has created a light-driven artificial muscle that functions independently underwater, advancing the future of soft robotics. The system, developed by the Korea Research ...

A Korean research team has developed a light-powered artificial muscle that operates freely underwater, paving the way for next-generation soft robotics. The research team—Dr. Hyun Kim at the Korea ...

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 ...
