Breaking away from conventional robots that perform only predefined functions once fabricated, researchers have developed a ...

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 ...

The next generation of soft robots might be folding and sliding as effortlessly as living tissue, say a team of engineers who have created “magnetic muscles” with 3D printing. Filling elastic, ...

Researchers at the MIT Media Lab and Italy’s Politecnico di Bari have developed artificial muscle fibers that aim to match ...

NUS scientists have developed a self-training method that strengthens lab-grown muscle tissues around the clock, and used them to power a living-muscle robot that swims faster than any of its ...

Scientists have developed a self-training method that strengthens lab-grown muscle tissues around the clock, and used them to power a living-muscle robot that swims faster than any of its predecessors ...

A new robotic breakthrough out of South Korea may soon turn your clothes into assistive tech. Researchers have found a way to mass-produce ultra-thin "fabric muscles" that can flex and lift like human ...

Because the pumps and actuators are manufactured in a fiber-like geometry, they can be arranged in various configurations ...

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 ...
