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

A new exosuit, equipped with artificial muscles, is set to redefine astronaut mobility for lunar and Martian exploration.

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 ...

A new "exosuit," tested during a two-week space analog mission last month in Australia run by the Austrian Space Forum, hopes ...

Artificial muscle tissue might sound like the work of science fiction, but that may not be the case anymore. As described in a recent paper in Advanced Intelligent Systems, researchers outline the ...

AI-powered muscles, made from lifelike materials, paired with intelligent control systems can perform motions that feels natural, responsive, and safe.

"Muscle shirt" may soon take on a whole new meaning if new research out of Washington University in St. Louis pans out. A team has found a way to use bacteria to produce synthetic muscle proteins, ...

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 ...

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.

Tiny robots could serve all kinds of useful functions, but shrinking their actuators has proven challenging. Now researchers at the University of Wollongong (UOW) in Australia have made artificial ...

(Nanowerk News) Would you wear clothing made of muscle fibers? Use them to tie your shoes or even wear them as a belt? It may sound a bit odd, but if those fibers could endure more energy before ...

It’s about time for the mechanics inside digital cameras to get a technological overhaul, and a start-up named Artificial Muscle is aiming to do just that with some new actuators. The actuators are ...
