The inspiration for the design is derived from papillae, a group of tiny muscles used by octopuses to change their movement ...

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 ...

The technology experts at Digital Trends reveal how a creepy robot uses 1,000 artificial muscles to move realistically.

Researchers have developed a 3D printing method for soft actuators, paving the way for artificial muscles in robotics, prosthetics, and VR tech.

A bee-like robot currently under development at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is part of a new generation ...

University of Iowa researchers have reported a key advance in the ease of flow and maneuverability for underwater vehicles.

Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have engineered a revolutionary bee-inspired robot weighing less than ...

MIT engineers developed a method to grow artificial muscle tissue that twitches and flexes in multiple, coordinated directions. These tissues could be useful for building “biohybrid” robots ...

Rhagobot isn’t exactly the first thing that comes to mind at the mention of a robot. Inspired by Rhagovelia water striders, ...

Future robots could soon have a lot more muscle power. Northwestern University engineers have developed a soft artificial muscle, paving the way for untethered animal- and human-scale robots.

Clone Robotics uses a sophisticated valve matrix system to manage the artificial muscles, reducing the need for bulky equipment and enhancing the robot’s responsiveness and agility.

Artificial muscles don't just get robots moving: One day, they could support people at work or when walking, or replace injured muscle tissue. However, developing artificial muscles that can ...
