New magnetic polymer enables stronger and more flexible artificial muscles in soft robotics
Despite their remarkable flexibility, today’s soft artificial muscles struggle to deliver meaningful force. This ...
It might look like a simple material experiment at first glance, as a brief ultrasound stimulation induces a thin strip of silicone to start bending and arching. But that’s just the beginning. A team ...
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 ...
