This dual cross-linking design lets the muscle switch stiffness on demand. In lab tests, its stiffness jumps from about 213 ...

Once again, scientists have created something to give humanoid robots skills that no human possesses without asking themselves if it is truly a good idea.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In a significant stride forward in the field of bio-inspired robotics, researchers have engineered artificial muscles powered ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed artificial muscles that contain microbubbles and can be controlled with ultrasound. In the future, these ...

(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 ...

Many of my physiologic systems replicated somebody who's 20 or 30 years older than me.” Now there may be a solution: robot ...

It sounds like something from a sci-fi film - but some scientists believe this clever new tech could help alleviate strains ...

MIT engineers grew an artificial, muscle-powered structure that pulls both concentrically and radially, much like how the iris in the human eye acts to dilate and constrict the pupil. We move thanks ...
