Researchers at ETH Zürich are very good at keeping robots standing upright. Back in 2022, the school’s robotics team taught the quadrupedal ANYmal robot how to hike up mountains without falling over.
A research team from MIT Media Lab and Politecnico di Bari in Italy has jointly developed an artificial electrofluidic muscle that can be used as a soft actuator in robots. The muscles are moved by ...
Breaking away from conventional robots that perform only predefined functions once fabricated, researchers have developed a next-generation artificial muscle that can change its shape in real time, ...
Most robots rely on rigid, bulky parts that limit their adaptability, strength, and safety in real-world environments. Researchers developed soft, battery-powered artificial muscles inspired by human ...
Silent Artificial Muscles: A team of researchers has developed artificial muscles that function just like human muscles. These could completely revolutionize both the design of robots and the way they ...
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. The new ...
