Researchers at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln are making strides in developing a synthetic material that mimics ...

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 ...

Soft robots are only as capable as the artificial muscles that drive them, and for years those muscles have forced a trade-off between strength and flexibility. A new magnetic polymer design is ...

Researchers are continuing to make progress on developing a new synthetic material that behaves like biological muscle, an ...

Researchers at National Taiwan University released a new artificial muscle development method that is completely different from conventional artificial muscle technology and uses onion peel.

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 ...

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 ...

(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 ...

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 ...

A soft artificial muscle that is strong enough to withstand being run over by a car and has elasticity like a rubber band has been developed. On the 15th, the Korea Research Foundation announced that ...

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 ...

A research team affiliated with UNIST has unveiled a new type of artificial muscle that can seamlessly transition from soft and flexible to rigid and strong—much like rubber transforming into steel.
