And it’s worth thinking about exactly how remarkable it is that the new humanoid robots are able to replicate the smooth, fluid, organic movements of humans and other animals, because the majority of ...

MIT engineers have quietly solved one of the biggest bottlenecks in living-tissue robotics, creating synthetic tendons that let soft muscle pull on hard plastic with far more force and control. By ...

When you close your eyes and imagine futuristic robots, there's a good chance the image you've conjured is shiny and chrome. Maybe it's something straight out of Cyberpunk 2077, or closer to the ...

(Nanowerk News) We move thanks to coordination among many skeletal muscle fibers, all twitching and pulling in sync. While some muscles align in one direction, others form intricate patterns, helping ...

The commercialization of clothing-type wearable robots has taken a significant step forward with the development of equipment that can continuously and automatically weave ultra-thin shape memory ...

New Harvard 3D printing technique builds twistable, bendable robotic muscles in a single print with programmed movement logic ...
