Researchers are continuing to make progress on developing a new synthetic material that behaves like biological muscle, an ...
Empa researchers are working on producing artificial muscles that can keep up with the real thing. They have now developed a ...
Despite their remarkable flexibility, today’s soft artificial muscles struggle to deliver meaningful force. This ...
The classic image of a robot is one clad in a rigid metal shell, but that might not be practical in situations where man and machine will need to work together. The emerging field of soft robotics is ...
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a soft artificial muscle that mimics the structure and behavior of the human iris. Powered by light and made from real ...
If you build a soft, conformable robot body but then put rigid, unyielding actuators inside of it, you're kind of defeating the whole purpose of the thing. With that in mind, Korean scientists have ...
