It's not clear that anyone was asking for a company to build a muscular, sinewy robot or to see a video of it dangling, helpless from a hook, but life is full of surprises and this YouTube video of ...

MIT engineers have pushed biohybrid robotics into a new era with lab-grown muscles that don’t just twitch robotic parts but amplify them with serious power. In a breakthrough that reimagines how ...

A new hydrogel tendon design lets engineered muscle transmit far more force to rigid skeletons, resulting in 11 times higher power-to-weight performance. Study: Biohybrid Tendons Enhance the ...

The U.S. Army is looking into using animal muscle tissue as a means to move robots. The Army Research Laboratory believes its bots could use real muscle, which allows most living things to move and ...

And it’s worth thinking about exactly how remarkable it is that the new humanoid robots are able to replicate the smooth, fluid, organic movements of humans and other animals, because the majority of ...

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 ...

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Forget valleys; we're now entering veritable Grand Canyons of uncanniness. Behold the robot known as "Protoclone," built by Clone ...

Robots that can be worn like clothing are becoming a reality. The Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials has developed equipment capable of automatically mass-producing ultra-lightweight "muscle ...
