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

(Nanowerk News) Wood is the source for a brick-breaking mini robotic muscle material developed by researchers in Sweden and Germany. The material — a specially-developed hydrogel — can shape-shift, ...

A Chinese EV company has created a humanoid robot so eerily lifelike engineers were forced to cut it open to prove it was, in fact, a robot.

A new robotic muscle has been invented that exerts tremendous strength, exceeding that of any human’s muscle. This muscle has been proven to be 1,000 times stronger and more effective than that of any ...

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 ...

The soft, air-filled mechanism helps move the arm as the wearer performs everyday industrial tasks such as lifting, ...

While biohybrid robots that crawl and swim have been built before with lab-grown muscle, this is the first such bipedal robot that can pivot and make sharp turns. It does this by applying electricity ...

(Nanowerk News) Inventors and researchers have been developing robots for almost 70 years. To date, all the machines they have built – whether for factories or elsewhere – have had one thing in common ...

A bipedal robot made from an artificial skeleton and biological muscle is able to walk and pivot when stimulated with electricity, allowing it to carry out finer movements than previous biohybrid ...

This sped-up video of the robot underwater shows the legs walking forward, with the muscle contractions being stimulated by electricity. Researchers at the University of Tokyo have created a ...

Today, muscle atrophy is often unavoidable when you can't move due to severe injury, old age or diseases like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and multiple sclerosis (MS). However, Harvard ...
