Striving to stand out in the competitive humanoid robotics market, Polish-frim Clone Robotics has unveiled its first full-scale humanoid robot, Clone Alpha. The humanoid integrates synthetic organs ...

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 ...

Clone Robotics has released a new video of its first musculoskeletal android, Protoclone. Touted as the most anatomically accurate robot ever created, Protoclone is built on a natural human skeletal ...

Researchers have engineered a material that is as soft as skin but remarkably strong. Ulsan National Institute of Science & Technology (UNIST) team in South Korea has developed an innovative magnetic ...

Imagine a rubber band that turns into a steel cable on command. Now imagine it’s inside a robot. That’s the basic trick of a new artificial muscle built by researchers at the Ulsan National Institute ...

In a recent article published in Gels, researchers from China developed multilayer porous plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) gel artificial muscles using carbon nanotube-doped 3D-printed silicone ...

In a recent study published in the journal National Science Review, scientists from Nanjing University and Nanjing Medical University successfully created an artificial muscle with mechanical ...

(A) A summary plot illustrating the elastic modulus range of the artificial muscle compared to representative biological tissues, highlighting the biomimetic mechanical properties of the artificial ...

Researchers at Stanford University combined an elastomer with metal ions to create a substance that could one day be used in a self-healing artificial muscle. Nancy Crotti Scientists have been trying ...

R&D Digest: The monthly review of new technologies and medical device innovations. Fuel cells created by the team at the University of Texas at Dallas's NanoTech Institute could rival natural 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 ...
