Researchers at the Intelligent Biomimetic Design Lab at Peking University have developed a bio-signal framework showing that ...

Fish muscle signals can reveal movement, sense water flow & improve robot swimming, offering a way to design smarter ...

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 ...

Researchers developed 3D printed, muscle-inspired magnetic actuators that push, pull, crawl, and grasp. The research paper describes a family of soft actuators that convert applied magnetic fields ...

Breaking away from conventional robots that perform only predefined functions once fabricated, researchers have developed a ...

NUS scientists have developed a self-training method that strengthens lab-grown muscle tissues around the clock, and used them to power a living-muscle robot that swims faster than any of its ...

A new artificial muscle can change shape, repair damage, and be reused, bringing a major shift in how robots are built and ...

Scientists have developed a self-training method that strengthens lab-grown muscle tissues around the clock, and used them to power a living-muscle robot that swims faster than any of its predecessors ...

Soft robots have long promised something rigid machines cannot easily deliver. They offer the ability to bend, flex, and ...

A new robotic breakthrough out of South Korea may soon turn your clothes into assistive tech. Researchers have found a way to mass-produce ultra-thin "fabric muscles" that can flex and lift like human ...

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 ...
