The next generation of soft robots might be folding and sliding as effortlessly as living tissue, say a team of engineers who have created “magnetic muscles” with 3D printing. Filling elastic, ...

Researchers at Seoul National University have developed an artificial muscle that can change shape ...

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

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

Researchers at the MIT Media Lab and Italy’s Politecnico di Bari have developed artificial muscle fibers that aim to match ...

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 ...

Because the pumps and actuators are manufactured in a fiber-like geometry, they can be arranged in various configurations ...

Muscles are remarkably effective systems for generating controlled force, and engineers developing hardware for robots or ...

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 ...
