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 ...

(Nanowerk News) In recent years, researchers at The University of Texas at Dallas and colleagues at the University of Wollongong in Australia have put a high-tech twist on the ancient art of fiber ...

Artificial muscles could be employed in a host of applications, including miniaturized medical devices, robotics and smart textiles that respond to changes in their environment. Most such muscles ...

(Nanowerk News) Northwestern University 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 ...

Plot twist: muscle memory isn’t actually about your muscles at all. It’s about your brain doing some serious behind-the-scenes work! Imagine your brain is creating a super-detailed map for every ...

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 ...

A high-tech twist has been put on the ancient art of fiber spinning, using modern materials to create ultra-strong, powerful, shape-shifting yarns. A new report describes the path to developing a new ...
