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 ...

Researchers have engineered a material that is as soft as skin but remarkably strong. Ulsan National Institute of Science & Technology (UNIST) team in South Korea has developed an innovative magnetic ...

We move thanks to coordination among many skeletal muscle fibers, all twitching and pulling in sync. While some muscles align ...

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 ...

Engineers at MIT have devised an ingenious new way to produce artificial muscles for soft robots that can flex in more than one direction, similar to the complex muscles in the human body. The team ...

(A) A summary plot illustrating the elastic modulus range of the artificial muscle compared to representative biological tissues, highlighting the biomimetic mechanical properties of the artificial ...

In a recent article published in Gels, researchers from China developed multilayer porous plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) gel artificial muscles using carbon nanotube-doped 3D-printed silicone ...

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 ...

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 ...
