MIT engineers have pushed biohybrid robotics into a new era with lab-grown muscles that ...

A new robotic muscle has been invented that exerts tremendous strength, exceeding that of any human’s muscle. This muscle has been proven to be 1,000 times stronger and more effective than that of any ...

Our muscles are nature's actuators. The sinewy tissue is what generates the forces that make our bodies move. In recent years ...

As robots become more and more lifelike, this begs the obvious question: how will they keep their robotic muscles in tip-top shape? While they’re hitting robotic gyms just yet, researchers have ...

Biohybrid robots that run on real muscle are shifting from science fiction toward workable machines. In labs around the world ...

Today, muscle atrophy is often unavoidable when you can't move due to severe injury, old age or diseases like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and multiple sclerosis (MS). However, Harvard ...

In a remarkable fusion of biology and technology, researchers from the University of Tokyo and Waseda University have developed a groundbreaking biohybrid robotic hand that utilizes lab-grown human ...

Scientists have been working for years to create robots powered by living muscle tissue. These biohybrid robots combine ...

3D-printed muscle-tendon units can mimic real movement and last longer, opening doors for robotics and medical use. Older forms of bioengineered muscles lacked strength and were not good at ...

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- A robotic exoskeleton controlled by the wearer's own nervous system could help users regain limb function, which is encouraging news for people with partial nervous system ...

Cornell University researchers have created a soft robotic muscle that can regulate its temperature through sweating. Thermal management is important for robots and is a basic building block for ...

(Nanowerk News) Wood is the source for a brick-breaking mini robotic muscle material developed by researchers in Sweden and Germany. The material — a specially-developed hydrogel — can shape-shift, ...
