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 ...

The robots run on a hydraulic system powered by a compact pump, called a “hydraulic heart,” which uses water to move the ...

The latest news from the National Intellectual Property Administration shows that Laifu Robot (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. has obtained a patent for a mechanism called 'drive mechanism,' which enables the ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich say they developed a biohybrid system that mimics the biological interface between bones and ...

Engineers have developed a new soft, flexible device that makes robots move by expanding and contracting -- just like a human muscle. To demonstrate their new device, called an actuator, the ...

Scientists bioprint living muscle-tendon units that contract for months, offering promise for robotics, prosthetics, and ...

Flying, bug-like bots are becoming more efficient, and you can now refuel in Tibet via an app-controlled, explosion-resistant robot. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

This sped-up video of the robot underwater shows the legs walking forward, with the muscle contractions being stimulated by electricity. Researchers at the University of Tokyo have created a ...

Humanoid robots promise to take on dull and dangerous jobs. But is that really true? what about the future of human work?

Looking to pave the way for the production of nimble robots that can move more like living creatures than bulky androids, Army Research Laboratory scientists are embarking on fresh, high-risk studies ...

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 ...
